Is it all just nonsense and irrational thinking, or are there any valid reasons that superstitions exist and have endured over time? Listen in to learn more about some of our favorite superstitious beliefs and practices, where they came from, and why we entertain them. We also talk about superstitious behaviors that we have done in the past, and ones that we still do in the present, that may be considered completely illogical or ridiculous. Would you consider yourself to be superstitious at all? If you're quick to answer "no", I'd wager that you are way more superstitious than you think. Listen in to find out!

Little girlfriend. 

00:01:33 

What up what up what up? 

00:01:34 Seth 

All right, back in the seat. 

00:01:36 Seth

Another podcast we we in the biz ooze yeah. 

00:01:37 Colleen 

Back in the booth we in the move can you move? 

00:01:43 Seth 

All right cool. 

00:01:44 Seth 

So talk about some superstitions, huh? 

00:01:46 Colleen 

Indeed, indeed. 

00:01:47 Seth 

All right? 

00:01:48 Colleen 

Bam bam bam bam bam bam bam. 

00:01:52 Seth 

Very superstitious. 

00:01:56 Colleen 

I want to know how superstitious do you think you are. 

00:02:00 Seth 

Alright, I took a little stupid little bit. 

00:02:02 Colleen 

I know I always gotta throw the dumb ask quizzes. 

00:02:03 Seth 

Yeah, I know. 

00:02:04 Seth 

He's damn quizzes all right. 

00:02:06 Seth 

So I took the little questions and if you guys want to know this awful BuzzFeed, they always had this little crazy little quizzes. 

00:02:12 Seth 

They probably find their information somehow, and that's how they send you emails. 

00:02:17 Seth 

But anyway, so after all of the questions I answered, it was like 5, so it's not a lot. 

00:02:24 Seth 

You're not superstitious at all. 

00:02:26 Colleen 

Oh my God, really. 

00:02:27 Seth 

You want one. 

00:02:28 Seth 

I can read it. 

00:02:28 Colleen 

I'm surprised to hear that. 

00:02:31 Seth 

I'll read what it says you already knew this about yourself, but you just wanted to take this quiz to see if there was anything extra cookie out there lately. 

00:02:39 Seth 

So Congrats, you don't believe in any of this hocus pocus and you're proud of it. 

00:02:44 Seth 

That this knows me. 

00:02:46 Colleen 

It's like it. 

00:02:46 Seth 

It really knows me. 

00:02:48 Seth 

Really good, all right, so I know you took the quiz too so alright, so what's your answer? 

00:02:50 Colleen 

What I did, I did, my results were. 

00:02:55 Colleen 

You're the most superstitious person we know. 

00:02:59 Seth 

Paranoid bit. 

00:03:00 Colleen 

You're an extremely superstitious person. 

00:03:03 Colleen 

You believe there's no such thing as a coincidence because destiny always has a hand in everything. 

00:03:09 Colleen 

That's why you're always hyper aware of the signals that the universe might be sending you, whether it's in the form of a four leaf Clover or a broken mirror. 

00:03:16 Seth 

Oh boy. 

00:03:17 Colleen 

I feel like. 

00:03:18 Colleen 

Saying I'm the most superstitious person ever is. 

00:03:21 Colleen 

A little a little much. 

00:03:23 

Well, but I. 

00:03:25 Seth 

Don't think it's that far off, but anyway. 

00:03:27 Seth 

You always got your. 

00:03:28 Colleen 

Well I would. 

00:03:29 Colleen 

Say that you're. 

00:03:29 Seth 

Little rocks and ****. 

00:03:30 Seth 

You got your little rocks and your little talismans and all that ****. 

00:03:30 Colleen 

Thank you. 

00:03:33 Seth 

And you believe in all this you are. 

00:03:35 Colleen 

Well, you you believe in a lot of stuff too and you get all freaked out. 

00:03:39 Colleen 

And the fact. 

00:03:40 Colleen 

That that thing said that you were not superstitious at all. 

00:03:43 Colleen 

I there's a flaw in this. 

00:03:45 Seth 

Alright, well we're going to find, well, we're going to source this out because we got some things that we can. 

00:03:46 Colleen 

Somethings wrong. 

00:03:49 Seth 

Discuss in this. 

00:03:50 Seth 

Episode here, so I'm looking forward to this. 

00:03:50 Colleen 

Good good idea, good idea. 

00:03:53 Seth 

I'm going to close this window out 'cause this thing annoys me. 

00:03:55 Colleen 

OK, OK so I want to know like what comes in mind when you just think of superstitions. 

00:04:00 Colleen 

Because maybe we're thinking about different things. 

00:04:02 Seth 

I don't know. 

00:04:03 Seth 

I think of a lot of things because just like you said, even though it says I'm not superstitious, I am. 

00:04:09 Seth 

I believe in certain things, but probably just 'cause it's fun. 

00:04:12 Seth 

So when you think superstition, I think something in your hand something lucky. 

00:04:17 Seth 

Or something that you do. 

00:04:18 Seth 

Or ritual that you do every single time or things that you want to. 

00:04:23 Seth 

Avoid blah blah blah. 

00:04:25 Seth 

I mean, it kind of holds all those buckets in my opinion, just depending on the context, right? 

00:04:31 Colleen 

Yeah no, I agree with that. 

00:04:32 Colleen 

And I mean I think a lot of supernatural stuff as well. 

00:04:35 Colleen 

That's why the fact that it said that you were not at all. 

00:04:38 Seth 

I'm a little surprised you see that's what I'm saying. 

00:04:40 Seth 

So if you put it in the context of supernatural. 

00:04:43 Colleen 

Yeah, so that's hard. 

00:04:46 Seth 

Right, I'm hiding in there right? 

00:04:48 Seth 

But when it comes to some other things, yeah, not so much. 

00:04:50 Seth 

It just makes you just feel good like you know. 

00:04:52 Seth 

So for example. 

00:04:54 Seth 

Let's say that, oh, I have my lucky blah blah blah. 

00:04:57 Seth 

I've watched so much football and lost and my team has lost so many times. 

00:04:59 Colleen 

Right? 

00:05:01 Colleen 

Huh, I know I. 

00:05:01 Seth 

I know that **** don't work, but it's great when it does. 

00:05:05 Seth 

That's the best example. 

00:05:06 Seth 

I can really give you. 

00:05:06 Colleen 

That's funny, I used to think that like every time I watched, that's when my team would lose. 

00:05:11 Colleen 

So I would just stop watching the game and then they. 

00:05:14 Seth 

Right exactly exactly so, it just depends on what it is. 

00:05:17 Seth 

So according to that survey, I'm not superstitious because it put it in. 

00:05:20 Seth 

A different context. 

00:05:21 Colleen 

OK, well then I would say that both of us are in the. 

00:05:22 Seth 

But actually 

00:05:23 Colleen 

Middle of the road, then let's. 

00:05:24 Seth 

Yeah yeah, I'm OK with that. 

00:05:24 Colleen 

Just go that let's. 

00:05:25 Colleen 

Go that route all right. 

00:05:27 Seth 

I'm OK with that. 

00:05:28 Colleen 

Well, let's move on to the. 

00:05:28 Seth 

Alright, so. 

00:05:29 Colleen 

Next bit here, let's talk about some actual definitions of what it is. 

00:05:33 Seth 

All right, well, this is where I shine, yes. 

00:05:36 Colleen 

Your shining star. 

00:05:37 Seth 

If I do anything right in this podcast, it's the one thing I know how to read the damn definitions. 

00:05:44 Seth 

All right guys. 

00:05:45 Seth 

So you guys don't have to look this up. 

00:05:46 Seth 

This is the Merriam-webster definition of superstition. 

00:05:51 Seth 

It's the best one that I found. 

00:05:52 Seth 

There's a lot of other sources out there, but this is the one that I think hits all the marks. 

00:05:57 Colleen

OK. 

00:05:58 Seth 

A brief, did I say the one thing I can do right and I got I get it. 

00:06:02 Seth 

Oh my God all right, all right guys, thanks for listening to this podcast. 

00:06:06 Seth 

We're pretty much done here. TuneIn for confession corner, just start out here. All right. So definition of superstition from Merriam Webster. 

00:06:16 Seth 

A belief or practice resulting from ignorance. 

00:06:19 Seth 

Fear of the unknown, trust in magic or chance, or a false conception of causation, OK? 

00:06:26 Colleen 

I like that I like that. 

00:06:28 Seth 

That sums it up. 

00:06:29 Seth 

I read the other ones. 

00:06:30 Seth 

Of and I was like, yeah, this one is the best one because this hits the stuff that we were talking about, right? 

00:06:37 Seth 

The stuff that trusted magic or chance. 

00:06:40 Seth 

OK, I don't believe in magic, but I believe in chance you know or or false conception of causation. 

00:06:46 Seth 

Meaning that OK, I wear my Joe Flacco jersey. 

00:06:50 Seth 

Every game, knowing that he's gonna kick it, but then he still misses. 

00:06:54 Seth 

You know I'm saying so. 

00:06:54 Colleen 

Right, right? 

00:06:56 Colleen 

Right? 

00:06:56 Seth 

Same thing. 

00:06:57 Colleen 

Well, adding on to what you say what you are saying is I think that it's also and this is coming from another source. 

00:07:03 Colleen 

It's commonly applied to beliefs and practices surrounding luck, amulets, astrology, fortune, telling spirits, and certain paranormal entities, particularly the belief that future events can be foretold by specific. 

00:07:17 Colleen 

An apparently unrelated prior event. 

00:07:20 Seth 

OK. 

00:07:20 Colleen 

So I think between both of those it really does encompass the whole thing, yeah? 

00:07:24 Seth 

And that's from Wikipedia. 

00:07:27 Colleen 

Right? 

00:07:27 Colleen 

And the most reliable. 

00:07:29 Seth 

Yeah, they're very reliable, but that actually sums it up pretty good too, because some of the other ones I saw were kind of wacked. 

00:07:29 Colleen 

Right? 

00:07:33 Seth 

So Yep, these are perfect and this will go into a lot of the stuff that we're. 

00:07:37 Seth 

Talking about today so. 

00:07:39 Colleen 

Yeah, yeah, 'cause some people actually consider superstitious stuff to be magical thinking. 

00:07:45 Colleen 

So with the whole thing that we just kind of went over with magic. 

00:07:48 Colleen 

I mean I don't know, it's interesting. 

00:07:49 Seth 

Do you believe in magic? 

00:07:55 Seth 

Every time I think about it. 

00:07:56 Colleen 

Never believe it's not so it's magic. 

00:08:01 Seth 

I can't think of anything funny. 

00:08:01 Colleen 

You know? 

00:08:02 Seth 

I can't think maybe there Magic song. 

00:08:04 Colleen 

I'm sure there's a. 

00:08:05 Seth 

Million back to the superstitions alright, so why do people have these superstitions? 

00:08:11 Seth 

In your opinion, I want you to kind of lead this one because I think that you get cerebral when it comes to some of this stuff. 

00:08:17 Seth 

I know this is kind of your thing. 

00:08:18 Colleen 

I did. 

00:08:19 Seth 

You're our resident witch, so let's start with this so. 

00:08:23 Colleen 

I think that it's people wanting more control or certainty. 

00:08:28 Colleen 

That's the driving force behind most superstitious practices or beliefs, because we tend to look for some kind of rule or an explanation of why things are happening to us. 

00:08:37 Colleen 

And when we see patterns or signs that confirm. 

00:08:41 Colleen 

A belief that we're carrying that's that kind of just brings it all together. 

00:08:46 Colleen 

You know. 

00:08:46 Colleen 

I mean like if we have a belief, superstitious belief and then we see something a sign or something happens and that just confirms it. 

00:08:46 Seth 

OK. 

00:08:53 Colleen 

Or that just like backs up our belief system, then that just kind of. 

00:08:57 Colleen 

Runs that superstition even further into our psyche and makes us like it roots it in deeper meanings. 

00:09:03 Seth 

Sense, yeah it does. 

00:09:04 Seth 

This kind of reminds you of something that's completely off topic. 

00:09:08 Seth 

I'm not going to get into it, but when I think it's like when you have the conspiracy theorists, it's not superstition. 

00:09:12 Seth 

So people that believe in some kind of conspiracy and it's like they get one little tiny grain of truth and all of a sudden, that's the whole truth. 

00:09:14 Colleen 

No, I know exactly. 

00:09:16 Colleen 

Where you're going with this, yes. 

00:09:21 Seth 

But anyway, that's what. 

00:09:23 Seth 

Kind of reminds me of this. 

00:09:24 Colleen 

Exactly, exactly? 

00:09:25 Colleen 

No, that's that's a great point, yeah, and you know, there's just. 

00:09:28 Colleen 

You got to think all these other things like placebo effect, nocebo effect, right? 

00:09:32 Colleen 

So if they? 

00:09:32 Seth 

OK. 

00:09:32 Colleen 

There's if you think placebo effect. 

00:09:35 Colleen 

It's a positive thing. 

00:09:36 Colleen 

So if you think something will help you, it might just do that. 

00:09:39 Colleen 

And if. 

00:09:40 Colleen 

It's you think something will harm you. 

00:09:42 Colleen 

It might just do that. 

00:09:43 Colleen 

So there's a tremendous amount of power in the things that we believe. 

00:09:47 Colleen 

So if you believe that carrying around that rock is going to help you. 

00:09:53 Colleen 

Then it might because we believe we we have these these thoughts that give us positive thinking, right? 

00:09:59 Colleen 

But if you like lose the rock and you're like oh, shoot. 

00:09:59 Seth 

OK. 

00:10:02 Colleen 

And then you just have this horrible, no good, very bad day. 

00:10:05 Colleen 

Then you're going to blame. 

00:10:06 Colleen 

It on the rock. 

00:10:07 Colleen 

OK, makes sense. 

00:10:09 Seth 

Yeah, yeah it does. 

00:10:10 Seth 

I never heard of this term, the nocebo effect. 

00:10:12 Colleen 

Yeah, yeah. 

00:10:13 Seth 

So that's the adverse of the. 

00:10:16 Colleen 

No, yes, right? 

00:10:17 Seth 

It's the inverse. 

00:10:19 Colleen 

So in for I'll just tell you real quick in medicine with a nocebo effect. 

00:10:22 Colleen 

It's when like a doctor would say you have two months to live and then that person actually does deteriorate faster. 

00:10:29 Colleen 

So it's the whole negative thinking like when someone tells you something negative and you believe that negative. 

00:10:37 Colleen 

There's a tendency to have a negative outcome, and again, This is why I'm saying there's a tremendous amount of power. 

00:10:42 Colleen 

In belief. 

00:10:44 Colleen 

In our thinking, right? 

00:10:46 Seth 

Right, right, right OK. 

00:10:47 Colleen 

Yeah, yeah, so there's other. 

00:10:48 Seth 

What's another one? 

00:10:49 Colleen 

OK, so false calls bias. 

00:10:53 Colleen 

That's when two events occur in succession. 

00:10:56 Colleen 

So and we think that like one event causes the other, so you're walking down the. 

00:11:01 Colleen 

Street a black cat crosses you and then you trip and fall. 

00:11:05 Colleen 

Did the black cat actually cause it or was it just that you're distracted? 

00:11:06 Seth 

OK. 

00:11:10 Colleen 

Or I mean like. 

00:11:10 Colleen 

So we we have these things again, it's all like this need for explanation, right? 

00:11:14 Colleen 

Like why did I follow? 

00:11:15 Colleen 

I saw the black cat. 

00:11:16 Colleen 

It's gotta be that. 

00:11:17 Colleen 

So that's that's like a false cause bias. 

00:11:21 Seth 

I'm thinking of all these things that are completely unrelated to this damn ****. 

00:11:25 Seth 

I'm thinking like OK false cause bias would be like. 

00:11:25 Colleen 

OK. 

00:11:30 Seth 

Yeah, this can go into a lot of things. 

00:11:33 Seth 

I know we're going through the superstitions, but you know how people have that saying everything happens for a reason. 

00:11:39 Seth 

That's nothing to do with superstition, it's just it's the OK. 

00:11:43 Seth 

Well, this happens. 

00:11:44 Seth 

Well, this probably happened because of X. 

00:11:47 Seth 

You know what I'm saying? 

00:11:48 Colleen 

Yeah, well no, that goes back to the need for explanation, right? 

00:11:51 Seth 

Yeah yeah, yeah. 

00:11:51 Colleen 

And when we because we as humans, we have to make everything make sense. 

00:11:57 Colleen 

So no matter what it is we. 

00:11:58 Colleen 

Just I, I mean not, maybe not. 

00:12:00 Colleen 

All of us, but the majority of us. 

00:12:03 Colleen 

Need to have some kind of understanding as to why things are happening. 

00:12:06 Colleen 

Whether it be good or bad so. 

00:12:08 Seth 

Yeah, see this fill in the gaps your your mind is fills in the gaps. 

00:12:10 Colleen 

Exactly exactly exactly. 

00:12:12 Colleen 

So if something bad happens, so here's another example. 

00:12:16 Colleen 

Say, say you're going to work and you're walking, and you pass someone who's like asking for money and you just ignore them or you blow them off and they are just like, well, screw you. 

00:12:26 Colleen 

You know what I mean and then you have a horrible day. 

00:12:26 Colleen 

Right? 

00:12:29 Colleen 

Something bad happens. 

00:12:30 Colleen 

You you go home and. 

00:12:31 Colleen 

You're like, why did this happen? 

00:12:33 Colleen 

To me it must have been because I didn't give that guy a dollar. 

00:12:37 Colleen 

You know what I mean? 

00:12:37 Seth 

OK. 

00:12:38 Colleen 

So then the next. 

00:12:39 Colleen 

Day you you try. 

00:12:40 Colleen 

To go back and reverse the. 

00:12:41 Colleen 

Curse, so to speak. 

00:12:42 Colleen 

You know, I mean, so there's always like. 

00:12:43 Colleen 

This need to explain in in A and whatever, but that also ties into that need for control, because when we have some semblance. 

00:12:51 Colleen 

Of control it just is. 

00:12:53 Colleen 

Relates directly to. 

00:12:54 Colleen 

Do we feel powerful or powerless in in the things that we do and when we have some semblance of control, it just makes us feel a little bit better, even though we're never in full control ever of anything. 

00:12:58 Seth 

OK. 

00:13:03 Seth 

OK. 

00:13:06 Seth 

So using that example that you used, right, we're just like OK, I had a terrible day. 

00:13:12 Seth 

Probably I didn't get this bum money. 

00:13:14 Seth 

If people put those in a different context. 

00:13:17 Seth 

In your opinion, is this beneficial? 

00:13:20 Seth 

Is a lot of stuff like irrational? 

00:13:23 Seth 

I mean can this cause a problem? 

00:13:25 Seth 

What are your thoughts on that? 

00:13:25 Colleen 

Yeah, all of it I. 

00:13:27 Seth 

Well short answer for me is yes. 

00:13:28 Colleen 

Think all of the above, yes. 

00:13:29 Seth 

I think it totally can short answer I I just want to know what you think about it. 

00:13:32 Colleen 

Yeah, I think all of the above, absolutely it can be beneficial. 

00:13:36 Colleen 

Like I said. 

00:13:36 Colleen 

Earlier, if you have positive thinking and it does cause positive outcomes because you feel more in control or you feel more calm or whatever, those are beneficial things, right? 

00:13:48 Colleen 

But if it turns into something that's. 

00:13:50 Colleen 

Causing anxiety or obsessive compulsive behaviors or things like that then it's going to be problematic, but there is a huge element of irrational thinking in these things too. 

00:14:02 Colleen 

But I think a lot of these things have become so ingrained into our cultures and into just everything. 

00:14:09 Colleen 

I mean, we think back to our whole lives. 

00:14:11 Colleen 

We've been doing random superstitious things forever. 

00:14:17 Colleen 

So I mean. 

00:14:20 Seth 

Yeah, totally, I think it can be beneficial even going back to your crazy example about. 

00:14:26 Seth 

OK, I had a terrible day 'cause I didn't get this bone money. 

00:14:28 Seth 

But you know what that could be flipping to a good thing like, OK, well this happened bad so you know I'm going to do if I put that good energy out there, that's a lot of people. 

00:14:38 Seth 

Say right put the good energy out there, then you're going to get something back and I guess that's kind of in it's kind of in a superstitious way. 

00:14:44 Seth 

I know I'm kind of going. 

00:14:44 Seth 

Off topic here, but it's all in the same vein though right? 

00:14:48 Colleen 

No, it absolutely absolutely is. 

00:14:48 Seth 

It's all in the same. 

00:14:50 Colleen 

In the same vein. 

00:14:51 Colleen 

And another thing people do is they they try to use these things to protect their own ego. 

00:14:55 Colleen 

I think this is really important too. 

00:14:57 Colleen 

It's really interesting they're using these things to protect their ego because we don't want to anything that happens to us. 

00:15:04 Colleen 

That's bad. 

00:15:05 Colleen 

We as people typically don't want to blame. 

00:15:07 Colleen 

Ourselves for it right? 

00:15:08 Colleen 

So if something good happens. 

00:15:10 Colleen 

Oh yeah, we did it I. 

00:15:11 Colleen 

Did it all myself it. 

00:15:12 Colleen 

Was me da da da. 

00:15:14 Colleen 

But if something bad happens, we're like real quick to find something else to place it on. 

00:15:18 Colleen 

So that's another way that people have adopted various superstitious beliefs to just kind of protect their own ego that makes sense. 

00:15:25 Seth 

There you go. 

00:15:26 Seth 

Yeah no it does. 

00:15:27 Seth 

I mean look it's it's nothing but a false belief. 

00:15:30 Seth 

Honestly, that's all it really is. 

00:15:30 Seth 

Right? 

00:15:31 Seth 

It's just a false belief, you know. 

00:15:33 Seth 

It is you. 

00:15:34 Seth 

You put your actions or reactions to certain things into some made-up belief, and sometimes it has physical forms like a Talisman. 

00:15:45 Seth 

Or if I have my lucky socks or, well, you know you try to make this stuff happen and at the end a it's just a false belief, but a lot of it is fun. 

00:15:54 Seth 

But some people take it way out of context, you know, and there's. 

00:15:59 Seth 

A lot of things that this goes back and like so far just like you already said, right? 

00:16:03 Seth 

So there has to be some kind of roots. 

00:16:04 Seth 

I mean, you're our resident, which so I I think that there's there's some Pagan. 

00:16:09 Seth 

There has to be some paganism or something behind here like. 

00:16:12 Colleen 

Oh yeah, I'm sure. 

00:16:13 Colleen 

Yeah, I'm sure in some of them, but I. 

00:16:14 Colleen 

Think that you. 

00:16:15 Colleen 

And I both originally thought that like all superstitions, had like Pagan roots or whatever. 

00:16:22 Colleen 

Yeah, and from some of the stuff I've been reading up on, they absolutely don't. 

00:16:26 Colleen 

There is some true history to a lot of them. 

00:16:29 Seth 

OK. 

00:16:30 Colleen 

But that was just kind of interesting because I I think that initially we were just thinking all magic, all Pagan, all witchery and sorcery, you know. 

00:16:38 Colleen 

But it's it's not. 

00:16:40 Seth 

Totally, that's what I was thinking too, and that's why I went so quote UN quote off topic when it comes to all this because it's not just about magic and all this, it's all like, OK. Well, it's a lot of other things that are encompassing the whole thing and. 

00:16:52 Seth 

Of course we were a lot more stupid of. 

00:16:56 Seth 

Species back in the day. 

00:16:57 Seth 

So the only thing that you can really think. 

00:16:59 Seth 

Of is like sorcery sorcery. 

00:17:00 Colleen 

So sorry. 

00:17:01 Colleen 

Yeah, exactly exactly exactly. 

00:17:04 Seth 

Because there's nothing that can really explain it. 

00:17:06 Seth 

This is way before certain kinds of science was, you know, found let's just say that science has always been there, but it just found out it's like, oh I'm gonna answer for this so you know what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna. 

00:17:12 Seth 

Right? 

00:17:17 Seth 

Say it's witchcraft exactly. 

00:17:20 Colleen 

Exactly, and now we know better these days, so I would say that it's all psyche. 

00:17:25 Colleen 

You know? 

00:17:26 Seth 

True true true. 

00:17:26 Colleen 

That's just what it all comes down to is just a psychological stuff that we carry around with us to explain everything and to help us feel in control. 

00:17:35 Colleen 

And that's really. 

00:17:35 Colleen 

It in a nutshell. 

00:17:37 Seth 

Yeah, well I want to go back. 

00:17:39 Seth 

Let's let's take a trip. 

00:17:39 Colleen 

Let's go back picture it. 

00:17:40 Colleen 

Thank you. 

00:17:42 Seth 

Picture this. 

00:17:43 Seth 

So silly. 

00:17:46 Seth 

Shout out to The Golden Girls man shout out all right so let's go back alright so let's go back. 

00:17:47 Colleen 

I know. 

00:17:51 Seth 

To this please. 

00:17:51 Seth 

'cause that's what we're talking about, right? 

00:17:52 Seth 

I'm saying that we were a stupid race back then. 

00:17:55 Seth 

We were. 

00:17:56 Seth 

Let's go back and see where some of these things that listeners would know and that mean you would also know to like the common stuff chair out there like what was out there and where those actually come from. 

00:18:07 Colleen 

Something that I think of is when somebody sneezes we always say God bless you and we say it without even thinking right? 

00:18:15 Seth 

OK OK OK. 

00:18:16 Colleen 

It's just very. 

00:18:18 Colleen 

Common practice and we might not even. 

00:18:20 Colleen 

Think about where did this come from or why do I do this? 

00:18:22 Colleen 

This is actually a very superstitious practice, right? 

00:18:26 Seth 

Alright, I want to know this because I don't say that even though I probably have said it over 1000 times in my life. 

00:18:35 Seth 

I mean, let's just be honest. 

00:18:35 Colleen 

And what are you talking about? 

00:18:36 Seth 

And not and don't say it everyday if. 

00:18:37 Seth 

Someone sneezes, I don't go. 

00:18:38 Seth 

I don't go blazio blast Shields. 

00:18:40 Seth 

I think it's ridiculous because if you. 

00:18:41 Seth 

Have a sneezing fit. 

00:18:43 Seth 

I'm getting blessed by like 1,000,000. 

00:18:46 Colleen 

That's good, nothing wrong. 

00:18:47 Seth 

Bless you bless you. 

00:18:48 

With that 

00:18:48 Seth 

OK, so tell us what the hell is. 

00:18:50 Colleen 

If you had a sneezing fit and sneezed five times, I would count when you were sneezing. 

00:18:50 Seth 

All this **** come from. 

00:18:53 Colleen 

Then I would be like bless you five times. 

00:18:55 Colleen 

I would say that. 

00:18:57 Colleen 

I know I also say bless if I sneeze and I'm alone, I'm. 

00:18:57 Seth 

Alright, you're not cool. 

00:18:59 Seth 

You're not coming over my house. 

00:19:01 Colleen 

Like ah, bless you. 

00:19:02 Colleen 

Like I say, I say to myself too. 

00:19:04 Colleen 

That's what I'm saying. 

00:19:04 Colleen 

It's just so ingrained into the like the thumb so ingrained into this behavior that we practice so. 

00:19:12 Seth 

All right, so take us back. 

00:19:14 Seth 

Where does this come from, please? 

00:19:16 Colleen 

OK, so. 

00:19:16 Seth 

'cause I'm I'm laughing here. 

00:19:18 Colleen 

In most English speaking countries, it's polite to respond to another person. 

00:19:23 Colleen 

Sneeze by saying God bless you, but other incantations of good luck have been accompanying have been accompanying sneezes across all sorts of different cultures for thousands of years, and they're all. 

00:19:24 Seth 

OK. 

00:19:32 Seth 

OK. 

00:19:36 Colleen 

All really, really like largely tide into the belief that sneezes expel evil spirits. 

00:19:42 Seth 

OK, I'm listening. 

00:19:44 Colleen 

So our particular custom of just saying God bless you began in the 6th century AD by explicit order of Pope Gregory the Great. So it was it was made a law. 

00:19:55 Colleen 

Like you must bless people. 

00:19:57 Colleen 

When they write, say. 

00:19:58 Colleen 

Bless you and also at the time when this happened. 

00:20:01 Colleen 

I know there was a there was a pestilence pestilence at the time. 

00:20:05 Colleen 

Terrible pestilence and was spreading through Italy, so the first symptom was severe. 

00:20:09 Colleen 

Chronic sneezing also very quickly followed by death, so that's another reason because again back then nobody knew science germs. 

00:20:10 Seth 

OK. 

00:20:15 Seth 

OK. 

00:20:18 Colleen 

None of that. 

00:20:19 Colleen 

Nobody knew any of that, so somebody started sneezing and they were tying it. 

00:20:23 Colleen 

Back to evil. 

00:20:23 Colleen 

Spirits and then someone dying right after they start sneezing. 

00:20:25 Seth 

OK. 

00:20:27 Colleen 

Everybody like. 

00:20:28 Colleen 

Bless this person blessed this person so. 

00:20:32 Seth 

Kind of sound. 

00:20:33 

Bless you. 

00:20:33 

Right? 

00:20:34 Seth 

This kind of sounds familiar. 

00:20:39 Seth 

'cause if I hear sneezing right now I'm like, oh Lord. 

00:20:41 

I know. 

00:20:43 

I get real tight. 

00:20:45 Colleen 

Because it's like. 

00:20:45 Seth 

That one should. 

00:20:48 Colleen 

You can see the sports. 

00:20:49 

Yes, I know it's everywhere. 

00:20:52 

Look at it. 

00:20:53 Colleen 

Look at it, look at it. 

00:20:54 Colleen 

Look at it. 

00:20:55 Seth 

Oh my God, have you seen someone sneeze where they're standing in front of a sunny window or something and they sneeze and can see all the spores going? 

00:20:58 Colleen 

I can't. 

00:21:02 Seth 

Everywhere who. 

00:21:03 Colleen 

Just like. 

00:21:04 Colleen 

When they put the pictures of the slow motion sneezing. 

00:21:07 Colleen 

Oh my God, no, no, thank you. 

00:21:08 Seth 

Oh man, that's that really makes me anxious. 

00:21:14 Colleen 

To put it mildly. 

00:21:15 Seth 

Yeah, exactly. 

00:21:15 Colleen 

This simply makes me anxious. 

00:21:17 Seth 

I start throwing holy water. 

00:21:20 Seth 

I denounce you. 

00:21:23 Colleen 

Back seat and back. 

00:21:25 Seth 

Back back mask on mask. 

00:21:30 Seth 

Slap them with the. 

00:21:31 Seth 

Mask and shift. 

00:21:33 Colleen 

Yes, yes. 

00:21:34 Seth 

OK, so that's where it comes from now. 

00:21:36 Seth 

Right? 

00:21:36 Seth 

Are you talking about the the pestilence you're talking about? 

00:21:38 Seth 

Like the Black Death or does something else that happened back in because people were getting killed all? 

00:21:41 Colleen 

It doesn't, yeah, I'm not sure exactly which one it was, but something but what I also found that's interesting is that the same Pope at the same time, recommended that if you sneeze when you're alone, it's funny. 

00:21:42 Seth 

The time back in assignment, yeah. 

00:21:54 Colleen 

'cause I was. 

00:21:54 Colleen 

Just saying that if you sneeze when you're alone and no one. 

00:21:57 Seth 

OK. 

00:21:58 Colleen 

There to say God bless you. 

00:22:00 Colleen 

He instructed for you to say yourself a prayer for yourself, saying something. 

00:22:04 Colleen 

Like God help me. 

00:22:10 

And that's that's. 

00:22:11 Colleen 

It that's that's the origins of God. 

00:22:13 Colleen 

Bless you with sneezing. 

00:22:15 Seth 

This is the child that sneezes because they are the key. 

00:22:22 

The key just. 

00:22:23 Colleen 

Cutting the gems. 

00:22:24 Seth 

No, alright? 

00:22:25 Seth 

Well that's actually good because I did not. 

00:22:28 Seth 

I didn't know all that because we say God bless I'm like OK So what the hell does that mean like God bless. 

00:22:32 Colleen 

Right, so I'm saying like this stuff is so ingrained in our behaviors in society, right? 

00:22:32 Seth 

You that yeah, that's. 

00:22:33 Seth 

My game freaking sense. 

00:22:36 Colleen 

So it's it's kind of cool to go back and explore some of these to see well. 

00:22:41 Colleen 

Where does this actually come from? 

00:22:43 Seth 

Yeah absolutely absolutely well. 

00:22:45 

Which are that? 

00:22:45 Seth 

I got one. 

00:22:46 Seth 

Well I got one that. 

00:22:47 Seth 

Uh, I think that mean you talked about this already, but it's laughable. 

00:22:52 Seth 

So we gotta talk about it again, alright? 

00:22:53 Colleen 

OK, what is it I'm ready. 

00:22:57 Seth 

The lucky rabbit's foot. 

00:23:00 Seth 

All right, so we talked about this back in the day, so listeners, if you haven't listened to all of our episodes, go back. 

00:23:06 Seth 

We talked about this really briefly with the FAD episode alright, and the reason why we talked about this because things that, Yep, the fads and trends. 

00:23:11 

Fashion trends. 

00:23:13 Seth 

We talked about that because that was a thing that people did. 

00:23:16 Seth 

All the time, right? 

00:23:16 Colleen 

Uh, it was. 

00:23:17 Seth 

You the Spencer gifts. 

00:23:17 Colleen 

It was very in FAD in trend for us to carry around. 

00:23:21 Seth 

Yeah, exactly so I had one. 

00:23:22 Colleen 

That animal parts. 

00:23:24 Seth 

Now I'm going to ask you. 

00:23:27 Seth 

Do you remember what color yours was? 

00:23:29 Seth 

Was it a? 

00:23:29 Seth 

Color or was it? 

00:23:30 Colleen 

I had more than. 

00:23:31 Colleen 

One at different times I had like a hot. 

00:23:33 Colleen 

Ink green or just random ones that were attached to key chains, and I would hook it to the back of. 

00:23:36 Seth 

I think mine would. 

00:23:39 Colleen 

My backpack. 

00:23:41 Colleen 

And just run around with it. 

00:23:41 Seth 

I think mine was green. 

00:23:43 Seth 

I think I had a green one too. 

00:23:45 Seth 

Stupid right? 

00:23:46 Seth 

OK, so first of all you have a taxidermy. 

00:23:50 Seth 

Steve Rabbit's foot, and you're selling that in a retail store. 

00:23:50 Colleen 

I know. 

00:23:53 Colleen 

I know. 

00:23:56 Colleen 

To children's 

00:23:57 Seth 

The children's it's not like you know. Yeah, grown adults. It probably were because I don't think I was definitely a teenager, but I wasn't in my 20s. But who knows I might have had one just sitting around. 

00:24:01 Colleen 

Oh yeah. 

00:24:06 Seth 

So we had this taxidermy nasty as rabbits foot being. 

00:24:10 Seth 

I'm so sorry for the poor rabbits that had to lose their lives over. 

00:24:13 Colleen 

I know. 

00:24:13 Colleen 

These feet just for it, right? 

00:24:17 Seth 

So a lot of this, though there actually is a little origin when it. 

00:24:20 Seth 

Comes to. 

00:24:20 Seth 

This stuff so well back in the 16th century, right? 

00:24:21 Colleen 

OK, do tell. 

00:24:23 Seth 

There actually were considered talismans to keep off evil spirits, right? 

00:24:29 Seth 

So you would think in some religions what's the one Santeria right with having the chicken feed the chicken blood, you rub that over like a door thing that keeps evil spirits out, right? 

00:24:40 Seth 

I'm quote UN quote. We all heard of that right. Quote UN quote right? So get that one lucky Rabbit's foot with the same thing, so some kind of a Talisman. 

00:24:49 Seth 

Was involved. 

00:24:51 Seth 

Regarding keeping evil spirits away, and that's actually tide into Celtic culture. 

00:24:56 Seth 

Also with African American culture too, when it comes to having some kind of a lucky Talisman that keeps evil things away, now it's it's funny because I used it more of good luck and not keeping evil spirits away. 

00:25:10 Colleen 

Right, right? 

00:25:11 Colleen 

That's how we thought about. 

00:25:12 Colleen 

It, but if you think about it now, it's like one and the same, right? 

00:25:16 Seth 

Right exactly 'cause good luck might mean that. 

00:25:19 Seth 

OK, that's good. 

00:25:20 Seth 

Keeping bad luck or bad spirits away. 

00:25:23 Seth 

So my fortune would. 

00:25:24 Seth 

Be better, it all makes sense now. 

00:25:28 Seth 

'cause I'm an adult and I. 

00:25:29 Seth 

Look into the. 

00:25:29 Seth 

History of it, but packing there was like, well, this will happen. 

00:25:32 Seth 

I'll rub this foot and I legit. 

00:25:33 Seth 

Used to rub this foot and used to think that thing was. 

00:25:37 Seth 

You know, good luck. 

00:25:38 Seth 

Which is ridiculous. 

00:25:39 Seth 

I don't know why, but. 

00:25:41 Colleen 

I'll be honest, I was always a little. 

00:25:41 Seth 

You don't need. 

00:25:43 Colleen 

Skeeved out by it to if I'm being. 

00:25:45 Colleen 

'cause just tearing around the dead I didn't. 

00:25:48 Colleen 

I mean they were given as gifts at random times. 

00:25:51 Colleen 

You know, as we're kids and birthday presents and just random things and. 

00:25:56 Seth 

So here goes the question. 

00:25:58 Colleen 

Just trying to be cool and stay on trend. 

00:25:58 Seth 

Like you know I can't. 

00:26:02 Seth 

So 8 year old. 

00:26:02 Colleen 

As an 8 year old. 

00:26:04 Seth 

I probably had that when I was. 

00:26:05 Seth 

A teenager, that's how. 

00:26:06 Seth 

Sad I am. 

00:26:07 Seth 

I'm pretty ******* sad. 

00:26:09 Seth 

I'm a sad creature, so anyway, so here goes. 

00:26:13 Seth 

A question that I don't think that we. 

00:26:14 Seth 

Can answer all. 

00:26:15 Seth 

Right, and do you really think that that was actually a taxidermied foot? 

00:26:15 Colleen 

OK. 

00:26:19 Seth 

'cause I looked at it closely and it really does look real. 

00:26:24 Colleen 

I yes, I think that they absolutely were. I mean, if you if you Google 1980s 'cause that was when I mean that was when. 

00:26:26 Seth 

Then look it up. 

00:26:33 Colleen 

I was carrying around a foot. 

00:26:37 Colleen 

If we look into that. 

00:26:38 Colleen 

I'm pretty sure we'll see that it was an actual legitimate dead animal that we were all carrying around. 

00:26:46 Seth 

Oh God. 

00:26:48 Seth 

Who's it? 

00:26:48 

Right? 

00:26:49 Seth 

Anyway, so all right, you got one another actually. 

00:26:53 Colleen 

Yes, I do have another one up I wanted to. 

00:26:56 Colleen 

Quickly talk about the whole. 

00:26:59 Colleen 

Superstition revolving around broken mirrors. 

00:27:02 Seth 

OK, I want to know about that. 

00:27:04 Seth 

1/2 

00:27:04 Colleen 

Yeah, it's pretty interesting actually so. 

00:27:07 Seth 

I have an idea of what it's about, but I'll let you school me so. 

00:27:12 Colleen 

Basically, back in ancient Greece it was common for people to consult what they called mirror mirror, see or I? 

00:27:18 Colleen 

Can't say it. 

00:27:19 Seth 

A mirror's ear. 

00:27:20 Colleen 

Yes, thank you. 

00:27:21 Colleen 

OK. 

00:27:22 Colleen 

Who told their fortunes by analyzing their reflections? 

00:27:25 Colleen 

So there's a historian that explained in his book that divination was performed by means of water and a looking glass, and it was called. 

00:27:35 Colleen 

Let me try to say it. 

00:27:38 Seth 

Oh Lord, just like that. 

00:27:41 Colleen 

Cattle trohman see cattle. 

00:27:45 Colleen 

Cattle trohman see. 

00:27:46 Seth 

OK. 

00:27:47 Colleen 

So that's what it was called. 

00:27:50 Colleen 

The mirror was dipped into the water and a sick person was asked to look into the glass, and if his image appeared distorted, he was likely to die. 

00:28:00 Colleen 

If it was clear he would live. 

00:28:03 

So that's the. 

00:28:03 Seth 

What kind of mumbo jumbo is that? 

00:28:07 

I know. 

00:28:07 Seth 

He could have a dirty mirror and all of a. 

00:28:09 Seth 

Sudden you're going to die, basically. 

00:28:09 Colleen 

I know. 

00:28:10 Colleen 

There may be. 

00:28:11 Colleen 

Some oil on it and just. 

00:28:11 Seth 

Right exactly because people people were probably dirty back then, so I'm thinking like they had grease all over it and. 

00:28:12 Colleen 

Kind of like sticks, right? 

00:28:19 Colleen 

Yeah, and then so that. 

00:28:19 Seth 

That's messed up. 

00:28:20 Colleen 

There's a caveat. 

00:28:21 Colleen 

To this right? 

00:28:21 Colleen 

So in the 1st century. 

00:28:22 

Right? 

00:28:23 Colleen 

A D the. 

00:28:24 Colleen 

Romans added on to this so at that time it was believed that people health changed. 

00:28:29 Colleen 

Every seven years in a cycle, so a distorted image resulting from broken mirror, therefore, meant seven years of ill health or misfortune rather than outright death. 

00:28:32 

OK. 

00:28:37 Seth 

Bad luck. 

00:28:41 Seth 

Ah, so that's why the seven years of bad luck. 

00:28:44 Colleen 

Yeah, so originally in Ancient Greece it was. 

00:28:45 

Comes now. 

00:28:45 Seth 

OK. 

00:28:46 Colleen 

Like oh, your? 

00:28:47 Colleen 

Image is distorted. 

00:28:48 Colleen 

You're gonna die and then later. 

00:28:50 Colleen 

The Romans were like 7 years. 

00:28:53 Colleen 

They just changed it a little. 

00:28:54 Seth 

Bit, so if you survive the seven years and they're saying you start over. 

00:28:58 Colleen 

Yep, Yep with your health or whatever. 

00:28:59 Seth 

OK. 

00:29:00 Colleen 

So and in in folklore, breaking a mirror. 

00:29:04 Colleen 

As we know, is a surefire word. 

00:29:06 Colleen 

Or fire. 

00:29:06 Colleen 

Weird, I can't, huh? 

00:29:07 Seth 

Sure, fire away. 

00:29:11 Colleen 

A surefire way to doom yourself, and it seems to arise from the belief that mirrors don't just reflect your image, but that they also hold bits of your soul. 

00:29:23 Colleen 

That's creepy, and that belief is what led people of the olden days to cover their mirrors in a house when someone died. 

00:29:23 Seth 

I'm fast. 

00:29:30 Seth 

I can't stand movies that have mirrors and. 

00:29:33 Colleen 

I know, I know. 

00:29:33 Seth 

That kicked me out. 

00:29:34 Colleen 

No, I know. 

00:29:35 Colleen 

Or when they are covered and then they uncover him. 

00:29:37 Colleen 

I'm always waiting for. 

00:29:38 Colleen 

Like crazy. 

00:29:38 Seth 

Something to be like behind the person or something like that or something looking at you through the mirror, and that's kind of where you're going, right? 

00:29:44 

Right? 

00:29:45 Colleen 

Yes, because exactly the reason they covered is because if they thought that if they didn't cover it, their souls would be trapped inside. 

00:29:45 Seth 

You covered the mirror because. 

00:29:53 Colleen 

Oh God. 

00:29:54 Colleen 

So they want to keep it. 

00:29:55 Colleen 

They want to make sure they don't get trapped. 

00:29:57 Colleen 

Which kind of makes sense. 

00:29:59 Seth 

I don't know. 

00:30:00 Seth 

It makes sense to me. 

00:30:01 Colleen 

I mean, well. 

00:30:02 Seth 

If I'm being irrational on myself. 

00:30:05 Seth 

From irrational mind it makes sense. 

00:30:06 Seth 

Yes, I mean. 

00:30:07 Colleen 

I guess if you're saying like the corpse is going to pass a mirror and it might you. 

00:30:11 Colleen 

Know what I mean? 

00:30:12 Colleen 

Like I, that's so just so I would think leave it uncovered to let the soul escape. 

00:30:16 Colleen 

But the old belief is that you cover it to make sure it didn't get trapped. 

00:30:20 Colleen 

Inside so. 

00:30:21 Seth 

Well, no, we well. 

00:30:23 Seth 

The thing is well. 

00:30:24 Colleen 

But either way, it's creepy as. 

00:30:25 Colleen 

Hell, if you think about every time you. 

00:30:27 Colleen 

Look at it. 

00:30:28 Colleen 

Yes, that goes back to the whole thing with it was a Native Americans believed when you take up. 

00:30:32 Colleen 

Picture your little bits of your soul. 

00:30:34 Colleen 

Or same same concept. 

00:30:34 Seth 

Right exactly so it makes sense, right? 

00:30:37 Seth 

If we're talking about nonsensical things because some of this stuff is just nonsensical, right? 

00:30:41 Seth 

But since we're talking about it right, they always not always. 

00:30:46 Seth 

They have said in the past that mirrors are portals of some sort, so that's why you close it up. 

00:30:50 Colleen 

Right? 

00:30:51 Seth 

So if you leave the portal open, then there could be. 

00:30:54 Seth 

Some of your soul that does get sucked into it. 

00:30:56 Seth 

So if you're going like if you're going down this road, if you want to get crazy, I'll get crazy, right? 

00:31:01 Seth 

Which yeah? 

00:31:03 Seth 

So that's what that is, what could happen? 

00:31:07 Seth 

If you do that. 

00:31:07 Colleen 

So I guess then if you think of it that. 

00:31:09 Colleen 

Way if your soul. 

00:31:10 Colleen 

's in the mirror and then you break the mirror then that's. 

00:31:14 Colleen 

Why it's all? 

00:31:15 Seth 

Your soul is lost forever. 

00:31:15 Colleen 

Bad luck and bad omens. 

00:31:17 Colleen 

And yeah, like I. 

00:31:19 Colleen 

I mean that is a rabbit hole. 

00:31:21 Colleen 

You can just keep going down and getting more and more freaked out if you ask me. 

00:31:23 Seth 

Yeah, I'm glad we're doing this podcast during the day. 

00:31:25 Colleen 

Together, I know. 

00:31:25 Seth 

I'm already getting scared and ****. 

00:31:27 Seth 

I'm glad we're together during the day. 

00:31:31 Colleen 

Yeah, it was night time game over. 

00:31:33 Seth 

Yeah, I'm like OK we gotta cut this podcast short. 

00:31:34 

You'd be like hold on, let me go just let. 

00:31:36 

Me go get my onesie. 

00:31:37 

Right? 

00:31:39 Seth 

Honey, my onesie. 

00:31:40 Seth 

I need my security blanket. 

00:31:42 Seth 

This is ********. 

00:31:45 

All right well? 

00:31:45 Seth 

I learned something there. 

00:31:47 Seth 

I see I'm already going down crazy town here with you, goodness gracious. 

00:31:48 Colleen 

Mm-hmm yeah. 

00:31:51 Seth 

All right, we got any more. 

00:31:53 Colleen 

Yeah, I mean I want to know like what your thoughts are on just. 

00:31:57 Colleen 

Overall regular random stuff 'cause I know like a lot of people in sports and in music and in. 

00:32:02 

OK. 

00:32:02 Seth 

OK. 

00:32:04 Colleen 

Hollywood even or. 

00:32:05 Colleen 

Whatever, like there's just, uh, people do weird. 

00:32:07 Colleen 

**** all the time. 

00:32:09 Seth 

OK, so I would definitely say even though I kind of already covered it, but that's me as a as a sports fan, but people in sports absolutely have superstitions or rituals things that they do absolutely, I mean you. 

00:32:26 Seth 

Get guys that will not not wash their jockstrap. 

00:32:31 Seth 

Look, you know through the whole season of whatever sport is, it could be, it could be wrestling, anyone, anything that you wear a jock strap with would be football. 

00:32:35 Colleen 

Oh my God. 

00:32:39 Colleen 

Can anybody say fungus? 

00:32:39 Seth 

Whatever wrestling, yeah, fungus amongus. 

00:32:42 Colleen 

Fungus among us. 

00:32:44 Seth 

Well, I was not wearing someone else's jockstrap. 

00:32:46 Seth 

I think you could be all right, I don't know. 

00:32:49 Colleen 

Yeah, yeah. 

00:32:49 Seth 

Nasty, but hey, if it gets you wins it gets you win. 

00:32:53 Seth 

So that's one I can really think of and I'm sure people in baseball. 

00:32:56 Seth 

Do a lot of that kind of stuff, I'm. 

00:32:57 Colleen 

I'm sure everybody. 

00:32:58 Colleen 

Does so people have these rituals and. 

00:33:00 Colleen 

Stuff and that's. 

00:33:00 Colleen 

It it's only problematic if they start to believe that if they don't do it. 

00:33:05 Colleen 

Then they're gonna. 

00:33:05 Colleen 

I don't know, but yeah. 

00:33:06 Seth 

Well same thing. 

00:33:07 Seth 

I used to rub the the turtle head at University of Maryland and you rubbed. 

00:33:11 Colleen 

You yeah, yeah. 

00:33:13 Seth 

You know Tostados head before you go win. 

00:33:13 Colleen 

Not huh? 

00:33:16 Seth 

Their right people do that. 

00:33:17 Seth 

Alright, they lose all the time, OK, whatever. 

00:33:19 

You're right. 

00:33:21 Seth 

I got another one so I'm gonna talk about my future ex-wife. 

00:33:25 Colleen 

OK, yeah, I know I. 

00:33:27 Colleen 

Know who she is. 

00:33:28 Seth 

If you guys don't know who my future ex-wife is, her name is Kesha. 

00:33:37 Seth 

Made her dress. 

00:33:38 Seth 

She's just so hot in a trailer trash kind of way. 

00:33:40 Seth 

That's why I like her man. 

00:33:41 Seth 

She's all like trashy, but she's hot trashy. 

00:33:42 Seth 

I love it so anyway, so one thing that they used to do her her entourage. 

00:33:47 Seth 

What they used to do is before all of her shows they used to roll around in oil and glitter backstage. 

00:33:55 Colleen 

I mean, that sounds right on. 

00:33:57 Colleen 

Right on par with her. 

00:33:58 Seth 

Oh yeah, exactly 'cause if you see her she always has like glitter on her face. 

00:34:01 Seth 

I don't know what she's doing now, but back in the day when I was in love with her and I. 

00:34:04 Seth 

Still kind of am. 

00:34:05 Seth 

She won't return my calls, but and that's another story so. 

00:34:08 Colleen 

She's she's. 

00:34:10 Colleen 

As a restraining order. 

00:34:11 Seth 

She's still thinking about the relationship, but she's not ready for it yet. 

00:34:15 Seth 

But anyway, you know they used to do that, and they, I guess they still do it. 

00:34:19 Seth 

She's still touring. 

00:34:20 Seth 

She won't answer my calls. 

00:34:21 Seth 

But so I'm sure that so people do that. 

00:34:24 Seth 

It's crazy. 

00:34:25 Seth 

I wouldn't do that. 

00:34:26 Seth 

I mean, if it was with her, I totally do it, but anybody else? 

00:34:30 

Yeah, said. 

00:34:30 Seth 

That's the only one I really got. 

00:34:32 Colleen 

Well, OK, well it's interesting. 

00:34:33 Colleen 

You bring up the music stuff 'cause I. 

00:34:35 Colleen 

Do know of a of. 

00:34:37 Colleen 

A superstition, superstitious belief in the music biz. 

00:34:40 Colleen 

It's the curse of the whitelighter, and I'm sure a lot of people have heard this, but there's a saying that those, really. 

00:34:45 Seth 

I have not. 

00:34:47 Seth 

No, I don't anything about a whitelighter. 

00:34:49 Colleen 

It's like bad luck if you have a whitelighter and if you have a whitelighter. 

00:34:53 Colleen 

At the very least, you could take a Sharpie and like Draw Something that something on it or like, write a word on it or and it's no longer just a white later but having. 

00:35:01 Colleen 

A white lighter is. 

00:35:02 

I have 

00:35:03 Colleen 

Bad luck. 

00:35:04 Colleen 

I mean, that's just the superstitious belief, but. 

00:35:05 Seth 

OK. 

00:35:07 Seth 

OK. 

00:35:08 Colleen 

There is a saying that those who use a whitelighter are cursed, and it seems farfetched and utterly unrelated to music, but did you know that some famous musicians, such as Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, and Jim Morrison were all found in possession of a whitelighter when they passed? 

00:35:28 Colleen 

Second, I mean come on dude, come on. 

00:35:31 Colleen 

Just saying, just saying. 

00:35:35 Seth 

Dude, this is this goes back to the definition. 

00:35:37 Seth 

Let's go back there, damn. 

00:35:37 Colleen 

Exactly, it goes. 

00:35:38 Seth 

Dirty, you know what I'm saying? 

00:35:39 Colleen 

Yes, it goes back to again. 

00:35:41 Colleen 

We have signs and symbols that that when they come true or we we connect it together so later. 

00:35:47 Seth 

Right? 

00:35:48 Colleen 

Oh yeah, that's a perfect example. 

00:35:50 Seth 

Exactly, Wikipedia says it is commonly applied to beliefs and practices surrounding luck amulets the lighter. 

00:35:57 Seth 

Astrology fortunetelling blah blah blah so OK, so who can really say that they were found with a whitelighter? 

00:36:05 Seth 

If there is some truth to that, I'm shook. 

00:36:08 Seth 

I will never use a whitelighter or get him on. 

00:36:08 Colleen 

Mean that's you can look it. 

00:36:10 Colleen 

Up look it up. 

00:36:11 Seth 

Me OK. 

00:36:15 Seth 

I want to throw away all my damn whitelighters now if I have any. 

00:36:18 Colleen 

You should just not. 

00:36:19 Colleen 

Use a white letter. 

00:36:21 Seth 

Yeah, well, what about the last one break a leg is that. 

00:36:25 Colleen 

Yeah yeah, yeah I. 

00:36:26 Colleen 

Mean that's as you know, if anybody is about to like go on stage. 

00:36:31 Colleen 

You're not supposed to say good luck. 

00:36:33 Colleen 

You're supposed to say, break a leg. 

00:36:34 Colleen 

If you say good. 

00:36:35 Colleen 

Luck, then that's actually bad luck. 

00:36:37 Seth 

The kind of backwards as stuff as this. 

00:36:39 Colleen 

That's a superstitious belief. 

00:36:43 Seth 

All right, so you know this stuff goes. 

00:36:46 Seth 

I'm glad we went down this trip down memory memory lane because I didn't understand a lot of this stuff. 

00:36:52 Seth 

The rabbits foot. 

00:36:52 Seth 

I really didn't get that either and I did it. 

00:36:56 Seth 

The God bless you. 

00:36:57 Seth 

I didn't, you know, just like you said, this stuff is so ingrained we just do these things and there's some other things that we can talk. 

00:37:02 Seth 

About later on in our own lives, which I'm excited to talk about and ask you about too so. 

00:37:08 Seth 

We'll probably go into that a little more too, and so I'm looking forward to that. 

00:37:11 Colleen 

Yeah, I. 

00:37:12 Colleen 

Yes, me too, but real quick. 

00:37:14 Colleen 

Before we do that, I wanted to tell some of our listeners about superstitions in the world that they may have never ever heard of. 

00:37:22 Colleen 

OK, OK, I mean this is a big big world and there's a lot of things. 

00:37:25 Colleen 

We don't know. 

00:37:26 Seth 

All right, so this one is from Serbia. 

00:37:28 Seth 

All right? 

00:37:29 Seth 

All right, so if you were asked me to point Serbia out on the map, I couldn't tell you. 

00:37:34 Seth 

It was somewhere in the Russian Ish area, so anyway. 

00:37:38 Seth 

Spilling water behind someone, so that's a superstition right here goes nothing. 

00:37:42 Seth 

OK. 

00:37:45 Seth 

Water in Serbian beliefs. 

00:37:48 Seth 

Let's just say it's supposed to be fluid, so a good little thing to do is if someone is going for a job interview or going on a trip or something, you throw water behind them. 

00:37:57 Seth 

And that's supposed to be good luck. 

00:37:59 Seth 

OK, I would think someone spilled a drink behind me. 

00:38:01 Seth 

If it was me. 

00:38:02 Seth 

But anyway, so you would, yeah. 

00:38:04 Seth 

So supposed to represent fluidity, and I think we've all heard that right? 

00:38:07 Seth 

If you look at other, you know types of cultures out there. 

00:38:11 Seth 

Water is fluid and blah blah. 

00:38:13 Seth 

I'm a water sign so I I. 

00:38:15 Seth 

Know these things already. 

00:38:15 Colleen 

So am I. 

00:38:16 Seth 

So yeah, so you do that. 

00:38:19 Seth 

So someone going on trips say alright, good luck or, you know, have a safe flight and then so they turn. 

00:38:24 Seth 

Around you just go douche. 

00:38:28 Seth 

Right probably shouldn't do that in the airport, but anyway, that's actually I may do that. 

00:38:33 Seth 

I'm a little superstitious. 

00:38:34 Seth 

Do that alright, so here goes something that if they're doing that in Serbia, this is what we do in the United States, right? 

00:38:40 

OK. 

00:38:40 Seth 

One of your homeboys dies, right? 

00:38:42 Colleen 

You a little. 

00:38:42 Seth 

You pour some out for your homie, right? 

00:38:44 Seth 

'cause what are supposed to be fluid water, beer? 

00:38:46 Seth 

Whatever it's fluid, so that's supposed to be into the atmosphere, right? 

00:38:50 Seth 

So you poor little you poor little summer out for your homie. 

00:38:53 Seth 

'cause if they're spirits there they pour it out. 

00:38:55 Seth 

So I guess there's a little bit of this a little little bit everywhere in different. 

00:39:00 Seth 

Iterations, so to speak. 

00:39:01 Colleen 

Yes, exactly, it's cool how it all ties together. 

00:39:04 Seth 

Yeah, yeah yeah, absolutely absolutely yeah, that's crazy. 

00:39:04 Colleen 

You asked me. 

00:39:07 Seth 

So it sounded like kind of ridiculous with the spilling water, but then after I'm talking about, I'm like, huh? 

00:39:12 Seth 

Yeah, we kind. 

00:39:12 Seth 

Of do that over here, don't we know roundabout way so? 

00:39:15 Seth 

Yeah, so I'm. 

00:39:16 Colleen 

Gonna actually take a link that I found that has weird superstitions from different places in the world and add it to the show notes because. 

00:39:23 Seth 

OK. 

00:39:23 Colleen 

I think people will get a kick out of just reading up on some of them. 

00:39:26 Seth 

Oh yeah, some of these are good, and there's there's a whole bunch. 

00:39:29 Seth 

Out there, yeah? 

00:39:32 Seth 

I want to talk about some of the stuff that I actually do. 

00:39:35 Seth 

Now because. 

00:39:36 Colleen 

Yeah, I mean I want to hear some stories about you and I through our lives and the things we do. 

00:39:41 Colleen 

Things we've done, things we've seen people do. 

00:39:43 Seth 

This is going to be embarrassing. 

00:39:45 Seth 

This is gonna be embarrassing. 

00:39:46 Seth 

'cause we're like you got these guys in your 40s. 

00:39:49 Seth 

You got to still doing this. 

00:39:50 Colleen 

I mean everybody is. 

00:39:51 Colleen 

Let's just be real we. 

00:39:52 Seth 

I know you're right. 

00:39:52 Colleen 

Do it I. 

00:39:53 Colleen 

I guarantee that we probably do something superstitious every day without even being like cognizant of it. 

00:39:59 Seth 

No, you're right. 

00:40:00 Seth 

I would totally agree to that, and so the more we talk about this. 

00:40:04 Seth 

I think that some stuff is going to come out and we're going to be like thinking Dang man my whole. 

00:40:08 Seth 

Life is full. 

00:40:09 Seth 

Of lower magic. 

00:40:09 Colleen 

Right, yes, even exactly exactly. 

00:40:13 Colleen 

It's all magical thing, even if you're like talking to somebody and you know you're like, fingers crossed, that's a superstitious belief. 

00:40:19 Colleen 

Fingers crossed that just something simple as that. 

00:40:22 Seth 

You're right. 

00:40:23 Colleen 

So just think of how ingrained it is into our just daily interactions. 

00:40:28 Seth 

Knock on wood. 

00:40:29 Seth 

That's not the one that we decide. 

00:40:30 Seth 

Not to talk about, but. 

00:40:31 Seth 

There's there's history, but. 

00:40:32 Colleen 

I knock on wood all the time. 

00:40:34 Seth 

I think it's. 

00:40:36 Colleen 

Well, I mean, there's that. 

00:40:37 Colleen 

It's a pretty interesting back story for that one, so I'll let everybody look that up on. 

00:40:41 Colleen 

Their own, but I know. 

00:40:41 Seth 

Yeah, yeah he doesn't look that one out. 

00:40:42 Colleen 

I do it, I do it. 

00:40:44 Colleen 

I'll just be like, why not? 

00:40:45 Colleen 

On would who. 

00:40:47 Colleen 

See it out. 

00:40:47 Seth 

You know what? 

00:40:47 Seth 

I think. 

00:40:47 Seth 

It's a you know it's funny but I think people do and they start talking. 

00:40:51 Seth 

They say knock on wood, they actually knock. 

00:40:52 Seth 

On their head I. 

00:40:54 Colleen 

Do that too. 

00:40:54 Colleen 

There's no table, I just like. 

00:40:55 Colleen 

Knock on my head. 

00:40:56 Colleen 

Michael would Boo. 

00:40:57 Colleen 

Yeah, I've done that a million times. 

00:40:59 Colleen 

Jesus yeah. 

00:41:01 Colleen 

There's actually no wood nearby. 

00:41:03 Colleen 

I'll just knock on my head. 

00:41:04 Colleen 

But The thing is. 

00:41:05 Colleen 

It's like it's fully right, but if you. 

00:41:06 Seth 

Stupid, it's ******* ridiculous. 

00:41:07 Colleen 

Believe if you believe in this right, not not. 

00:41:11 Colleen 

I'm just saying if you have this superstitious belief and you have then associated it to being OK to knock on your head in place of actually knocking on wood, then it's OK. 

00:41:14 Seth 

OK. 

00:41:22 Colleen 

It doesn't matter if you actually are knocking on wood or not, but that's again, it's just all psychological. 

00:41:23 Seth 

Great thinkings and then. 

00:41:27 Seth 

It really is. 

00:41:28 Seth 

It's like it's psycho Babble. 

00:41:31 Seth 

It's because you don't get all the people where where you're saying, OK, you know we put in contact, you're saying OK? 

00:41:36 Seth 

Well, hopefully this happens. 

00:41:37 Seth 

You know, knock on wood, right? 

00:41:39 Seth 

And they know finding like wood around. 

00:41:41 Seth 

So I look in left and right like I can't find a way. 

00:41:44 Colleen 

Quick now go ahead. 

00:41:44 Seth 

Look, look this is wood. 

00:41:46 Colleen 

It just looks stupid. 

00:41:50 Seth 

All right, so anyway listeners you can look these things up. 

00:41:53 Seth 

I think they're freaking ridiculous. 

00:41:55 Seth 

But now I might embarrass myself because signal is the one that I actually do. 

00:41:58 Colleen 

Yeah, I want to know what you I want to know. 

00:42:00 Colleen 

Some things that you've done or that you still do. 

00:42:02 Seth 

I still do this and it's so stupid. 

00:42:05 Seth 

The whole thing about not splitting the pole. 

00:42:08 Colleen 

I do it. 

00:42:09 Seth 

You know it is so stupid. 

00:42:11 Seth 

And I don't even know why I do that. 

00:42:12 Colleen 

I do it too. 

00:42:13 Seth 

I just know it's bad luck, but I don't know any origins. 

00:42:15 Seth 

I don't know any of this stuff, so I decided to Google it and find out. 

00:42:17 Colleen 

Yeah, me neither. 

00:42:20 Seth 

OK, well, since we're talking about this, let's find out why. 

00:42:21 Seth 

The hell I do it. 

00:42:22 Colleen 

And you know about real quick deep, but so the reason I do it, I don't know what the origins is, but the reason. 

00:42:22 Seth 

I don't know. 

00:42:27 Colleen 

Why I do it? 

00:42:28 Colleen 

Like if I'm walking it's when you're walking with someone. 

00:42:29 Colleen 

Yes, maybe people don't know. 

00:42:29 Seth 

And you're walking with someone, yeah? 

00:42:31 Colleen 

Right, so maybe people don't know, so it's when we're walking with somebody and there might be a pole, a telephone pole, whatever. 

00:42:32 Seth 

OK, you're right. 

00:42:33 Seth 

You're right, you're right. 

00:42:37 Seth 

It could be anything. 

00:42:38 Colleen 

Yeah, and you're not supposed to split the poll between the two people, so if you do so with the poll, that's considered bad luck. 

00:42:42 Seth 

Right? 

00:42:46 Colleen 

Or it brings like distance between you two or something like that, correct? 

00:42:49 Seth 

Yeah, and that's what is. 

00:42:50 Seth 

And I heard that you know, bad things can happen. 

00:42:50 

That's what I always thought. 

00:42:52 Seth 

So if you like, split the pole and you're walking down the street. 

00:42:54 Seth 

And this is. 

00:42:55 Seth 

How I start? 

00:42:56 Colleen 

More than a piano will come. 

00:42:56 Seth 

Thinking out right exactly, you might hit by a car or like something because you're walking outside, but I I still do it inside. 

00:42:57 Colleen 

Out of this fire. 

00:43:03 Seth 

It's ridiculous. 

00:43:04 Seth 

So you know what I do. 

00:43:05 Seth 

I still do this to this day. 

00:43:07 Seth 

If I'm walking around something and one person going this way, one person in that way and people probably see me do this and I and the pole gets split, I just. 

00:43:13 

You you reverse, I do the same thing. 

00:43:15 Seth 

Turn around and I reverse. 

00:43:16 Colleen 

Should I do the same thing? 

00:43:19 Seth 

Oh really, Oh my God, I did. 

00:43:19 Colleen 

I feel funny, yes, because sometimes I don't want. 

00:43:21 Seth 

I was like I don't want the pole. 

00:43:22 Colleen 

To write I. 

00:43:23 Colleen 

Do it when I don't want to make. 

00:43:24 Colleen 

A big deal out of. 

00:43:25 Colleen 

It or be like cuckoo. 

00:43:25 Colleen 

Burgers with the 

00:43:26 Colleen 

Pool, so I just quietly reverse and go back. 

00:43:30 Colleen 

So as not to bring a lot of attention. 

00:43:33 Seth 

All right so here good OK. 

00:43:33 Colleen 

But but I also I also say if I if I can't reverse it, I just say the magic. 

00:43:41 

Peanut butter Jelly 

00:43:45 Seth 

What, what in the hell is that supposed to be? 

00:43:49 

I don't know, I don't know. 

00:43:49 Seth 

Verse C. 

00:43:51 Seth 

I've never heard of that so I when I looked this up. 

00:43:54 Seth 

I was like there's a reversal to this, so now I can so, but but the reversal is so ridiculous. 

00:44:00 Seth 

I think I'd rather just turn around and not split the pole instead of saying peanut butter and Jelly. 

00:44:07 Colleen 

Well, read me what you found because I'm. 

00:44:08 Colleen 

Surprised you found something I want to hear this. 

00:44:09 Seth 

Well, it's it's. 

00:44:11 Seth 

It's basically the same thing, but it's just. 

00:44:13 Seth 

Bread and butter. 

00:44:16 Seth 

Oh, now I get it. 

00:44:17 Seth 

Now I get it now that we're talking about. 

00:44:19 Seth 

OK, so this. 

00:44:19 Seth 

Is the. 

00:44:19 Seth 

Reason why you actually do it because Peter Brown and Jelly go together and bread and butter. 

00:44:20 Colleen 

Oh yes, that does make sense. 

00:44:23 Colleen 

Yes, go to go. 

00:44:26 

Oh, look at that. 

00:44:29 Seth 

We learn. 

00:44:30 

All the lights. 

00:44:30 Seth 

It's not like oh OK, so now it makes sense, alright? 

00:44:30 

Are going off on top. 

00:44:36 Colleen 

Ham burger. 

00:44:37 

Right? 

00:44:41 Seth 

Cereal and milk, yeah? 

00:44:43 Colleen 

Yes, I guess. 

00:44:45 Seth 

So that's the reason why. 

00:44:46 Seth 

So that's the most ridiculous. 

00:44:47 Colleen 

OK. 

00:44:48 Seth 

It's not by myself. 

00:44:49 Seth 

OK, so I don't split the poll. 

00:44:49 Colleen 

You're not, you're not alone. 

00:44:51 Seth 

I do not split the poll. 

00:44:52 Seth 

I do a little reversal and I'll just do it and I don't tell the other person I don't want to. 

00:44:56 Seth 

I don't want to throw my ridiculousness onto somebody else, so if they split the poll, I just walk around it. 

00:45:01 Seth 

I don't tell them. 

00:45:02 Seth 

You don't. 

00:45:02 

Right, you still back. 

00:45:02 

What's up all? 

00:45:03 Seth 

Right, go around. 

00:45:04 Seth 

You come this way come back come back left laughed, laughed your brother last. 

00:45:08 Colleen 

Although I have done that, I have done that. 

00:45:10 Colleen 

I've been like. 

00:45:10 Colleen 

Stop use what I have done that in. 

00:45:11 Colleen 

The past I have. 

00:45:12 Seth 

Oh my God. 

00:45:12 Colleen 

Said stop use with the pole come back. 

00:45:14 Colleen 

It depends on how comfortable I am with somebody to be honest. 

00:45:17 Seth 

I've done this **** like less than a week ago. 

00:45:19 Seth 

That's how we do it in Siam. 

00:45:19 

OK, see. 

00:45:21 Colleen 

I'll tell you stuff I still do. 

00:45:21 

It's the. 

00:45:22 Seth 

All right, what do we do? 

00:45:22 Colleen 

I still if I'm. 

00:45:23 Colleen 

Going if I'm driving and. 

00:45:25 Colleen 

I go through a yellow. 

00:45:26 Colleen 

Light I will like kiss my hand and then hit the dash or hit the ceiling as I'm going through it. 

00:45:33 Seth 

I used to do that. 

00:45:34 Seth 

I used to do that when I. 

00:45:35 Seth 

Was my early 20s. 

00:45:36 Seth 

I don't even know. 

00:45:37 Colleen 

Where this came? 

00:45:37 Colleen 

From or what the heck it means, but. 

00:45:38 Seth 

I mean, we're we're weird people. 

00:45:40 Seth 

OK, so what's? 

00:45:41 Seth 

The origin of that. 

00:45:42 Seth 

Did you find any origin? 

00:45:43 Colleen 

No, I have no idea. 

00:45:43 Seth 

Did you? 

00:45:44 Colleen 

I didn't even look. 

00:45:45 Colleen 

It up, I have no idea. 

00:45:46 Colleen 

I'm just thinking like that's one that's something I do. 

00:45:48 Seth 

Well, it's probably I know exactly what it is. 

00:45:52 

Do you? 

00:45:52 Seth 

You're just, you're just thanking the Lord that you're not getting T boned while you're breaking the law. 

00:45:58 Seth 

That's basically. 

00:45:58 Colleen 

Basically, OK, fair enough I have. 

00:46:01 

Here's a. 

00:46:01 Colleen 

I have actually been T boned in that scenario before, so maybe. 

00:46:05 Colleen 

That's what but. 

00:46:05 Colleen 

But this is something that has come. 

00:46:08 Colleen 

You know, but people been doing this forever. 

00:46:10 Colleen 

I don't know where it actually started or whatever. 

00:46:12 Colleen 

We probably saw somebody else doing it and we started doing it. 

00:46:14 Seth 

Yeah definitely yeah. 

00:46:16 Seth 

That it's just good luck and you do that. 

00:46:18 Seth 

You know I should do it over train tracks. 

00:46:20 Colleen 

Yep Yep, Yep and you know it's funny and you're gonna really make fun of. 

00:46:23 Colleen 

Me for this because. 

00:46:23 Seth 

I'm sorry. 

00:46:24 Colleen 

I'm so aware of germs and whatnot and not touching my face. 

00:46:28 Colleen 

Whereas back in the day I would literally like put hand to mouth and kiss my hand, I don't do that anymore. 

00:46:34 Colleen 

I now just like blow kiss in the air and then hit the thing and. 

00:46:39 Colleen 

And because it's psychological. 

00:46:41 Colleen 

I have now said that that's OK and that that is that will that'll do that'll do. 

00:46:46 Seth 

Damn Cova got ******** even changing their superstitions man. 

00:46:48 Colleen 

Dude, this was this was before COVID. 

00:46:50 Colleen 

This was before COVID. 

00:46:51 Colleen 

This is me with my germ stuff way before 'cause I've been dealing with what people are dealing with now for decades. 

00:46:57 Seth 

Down with the sickness. 

00:46:58 Colleen 

Yeah, get up, come on, get down with the sickness. 

00:47:02 Seth 

Alright, so OK, I don't do that anymore. 

00:47:05 Seth 

That's over. 

00:47:05 Seth 

Did you know I can't even throw stones here right? 

00:47:08 Seth 

Because I can't do some 'cause I still do the ridiculous splitting the whole nonsense. 

00:47:08 Colleen 

You can't. 

00:47:12 Colleen 

We know what else I used to do all the time. 

00:47:12 

You know? 

00:47:14 Colleen 

As a kid, I don't do it anymore because I just kind of just tried to get it out of my mind, but there was a time when I used to be so. 

00:47:18 Seth 

OK. 

00:47:22 Colleen 

Concerned about driving past the cemetery that I would hold my breath the whole time. 

00:47:28 Seth 

I have only done that a handful of times because I heard that and I had no idea what that means. 

00:47:33 Seth 

Probably is something with the evil spirits that might. 

00:47:35 Colleen 

Yes, you then breathe them in. 

00:47:36 Seth 

That are floating around yeah, oh God, that's creepy. 

00:47:37 Colleen 

Milk, if you hold your breath, you're protected. 

00:47:41 Seth 

Well, there's some pretty big cemeteries out there, so good luck with that. 

00:47:43 Colleen 

I know I think I think there was one time where it was, just like very very very long like 2 and I couldn't do it anymore. 

00:47:50 Colleen 

And at that point I was like. 

00:47:52 Colleen 

You have a problem. 

00:47:53 Colleen 

Yeah, you need to address this. 

00:47:56 Colleen 

And then I did so. 

00:47:58 Seth 

Yeah, we you know another one I used to do is back in my smoking days and it was a very long time ago. 

00:48:04 Seth 

You have that lucky he turned over one of the cigarettes in there. 

00:48:06 Colleen 

Yes, yes. 

00:48:08 Seth 

Yes, so I should do. 

00:48:09 Colleen 

Me too way back in the day, Yep. 

00:48:09 Seth 

That, and you know what's funny. 

00:48:11 Seth 

I would always save that for the last. 

00:48:13 Seth 

Right? 

00:48:13 Seth 

But if it's supposed to be a lucky cigarette, why would you always save that for the last? 

00:48:18 Seth 

There were a couple of occasions if I wanted. 

00:48:20 Seth 

Good luck. 

00:48:20 Seth 

I would smoke it because it supposed to be a lucky cigarette. 

00:48:23 Colleen 

Right, well also, I think you were supposed to give it to somebody else too. 

00:48:23 Seth 

I don't know. 

00:48:27 Colleen 

At times like you passed along to somebody else. 

00:48:29 Colleen 

That's something I remember too, but. 

00:48:30 Seth 

I never did that. 

00:48:31 

You have to. 

00:48:31 Colleen 

Save it until the end, because if you didn't have it in your pack then it was bad luck, right? 

00:48:37 Seth 

Well, it now I don't. 

00:48:39 Seth 

I just said that that was the that was just. 

00:48:41 Seth 

It's just your lucky cigarette. 

00:48:42 Seth 

You flip it over and plus it always just get you out when someone wanted wanted a cigarette you say? 

00:48:46 Seth 

Well, I don't really got. 

00:48:47 Seth 

Me I'm. 

00:48:48 Seth 

Down to my lucky dude, I hate that I know even it's. 

00:48:48 

Right exactly exactly. 

00:48:50 Seth 

Like, oh, you don't want to touch the lucky? 

00:48:51 Seth 

Don't **** with the lucky. 

00:48:52 Colleen 

I know don't like and also I don't know if you did this, but I definitely did this. 

00:48:56 Colleen 

I would turn the same lucky over the same exact one in every pack like I. 

00:48:59 Seth 

Mine would be the front one might be the. 

00:49:00 Colleen 

Knew exactly 

00:49:02 Seth 

Hunt middle if you look at if you look at. 

00:49:03 

Mine was the. 

00:49:04 Colleen 

Back row, the third from the left. 

00:49:06 Seth 

Oh my God. 

00:49:07 Seth 

What a weird. 

00:49:08 Seth 

Weird with weird people, that's. 

00:49:09 

I don't think. 

00:49:10 Seth 

Asleep interest. 

00:49:10 Colleen 

It's just human nature. 

00:49:12 Colleen 

We just have this weird ****. 

00:49:14 Colleen 

That we do. 

00:49:15 Seth 

I think all of us have OCD and some you know. 

00:49:17 Seth 

This superstition has probably something to deal with OCD. 

00:49:19 Seth 

At the same time, like a very very mild case of OCD, like a tiny mild case of OCD, I'm gonna flip over this one cigarette in a little it's right. 

00:49:20 

I know a little bit. 

00:49:25 Colleen 

Yeah, yeah, I think. 

00:49:26 Colleen 

You and I might have a mental illness. 

00:49:30 Seth 

They're definitely mental. 

00:49:30 

Right? 

00:49:32 Seth 

Oh man, so. 

00:49:32 Colleen 

Good, I want to hear it. 

00:49:33 Colleen 

I want to hear some more. 

00:49:35 Seth 

I don't know. 

00:49:36 Seth 

We already took my knock on wood right? 

00:49:37 Seth 

I got. 

00:49:37 Seth 

That one I think. 

00:49:37 Seth 

That was kind of stupid, right? 

00:49:38 Colleen 

Yeah, well I got one. 

00:49:39 Seth 

Well, well. 

00:49:40 Colleen 

Bananas on boats. 

00:49:42 Seth 

OK then. 

00:49:42 Colleen 

I only learned about this one. 

00:49:44 Colleen 

Uhm, like two years ago when when before COVID because I was when I was still out and about and I was actually on a boat with some friends and we'd spend all this time out there and I just. 

00:49:56 Colleen 

Nonchalantly pull out my banana to eat my banana as my snack. 

00:50:02 Colleen 

And my friend whose boat it was like. 

00:50:05 Colleen 

What are you doing? 

00:50:07 Colleen 

Oh my God. 

00:50:08 Colleen 

Get that thing and like basic. 

00:50:09 Colleen 

Really smacked my hand to get my hand in it like this in the water. 

00:50:14 Colleen 

That's great. 

00:50:15 Colleen 

Floating floating in the water. 

00:50:16 Colleen 

I was like what is going on like I had no idea that was. 

00:50:19 Colleen 

The first 

00:50:19 Colleen 

Time I'd ever heard of bananas. 

00:50:20 Seth 

So yes, there. 

00:50:21 Colleen 

On boats being bad luck. 

00:50:23 Seth 

Well, I'm a boater and I used to be a sailor too, so I guess that's all boating right? 

00:50:27 Seth 

So I've been involved with with boats. 

00:50:30 Seth 

Not a terrible long time. 

00:50:31 Seth 

Let's just say maybe 10 years, right? 

00:50:33 

OK. 

00:50:34 Seth 

And that is something that I I learned when I first got into sailing sail with this guys name is Trevor. 

00:50:39 Seth 

This is going to be a long story, but anyway, it was one of those things and. 

00:50:43 Seth 

One and I actually took a banana on there. 

00:50:45 Seth 

He was like no the same thing like no, no. 

00:50:46 Seth 

He can't do. 

00:50:47 Seth 

That and I legit had to throw it in the water. 

00:50:49 Seth 

I was doing the water I. 

00:50:50 Seth 

Was like what the hell? 

00:50:53 Seth 

But that was when I first started boating and all that kind of stuff. 

00:50:55 Seth 

And then when I started driving my own boats, you know when I was part of the Boat Club and all that. 

00:50:59 Seth 

Kind of stuff. 

00:51:00 Seth 

I would never bring bananas on the boat, never. 

00:51:02 Colleen 

But did you know why? 

00:51:03 Colleen 

Or did you just kind of be like oh, I heard this so now I'm just going to keep doing this. 

00:51:07 Colleen 

'cause it's. 

00:51:07 Colleen 

What people do, they don't bring bans on boats 'cause it's bad luck. 

00:51:10 Seth 

No, well, since you know I was driving my own boats and all that, I did look it up and there's some quote UN quote facts behind it. 

00:51:18 Seth 

Well, one of things was back in the day when they were sailing across from other areas from different continents, right? 

00:51:25 Seth 

And they had. 

00:51:26 Seth 

Bananas on their bananas and those tropical climates. 

00:51:29 Seth 

They had poisonous spiders, poisonous insects in general. 

00:51:32 Colleen 

Right, that makes sense. 

00:51:34 Seth 

So what would happen is you can get bit by a spider and then you could die. 

00:51:37 Seth 

So it was bad luck to have bananas on boats because of the history of the things that would be inside the cargo that would have those kind of things. 

00:51:46 Seth 

So that's the reason why. 

00:51:47 Colleen 

See and. 

00:51:48 Colleen 

And I always thought, without knowing any of this, that it was something stupid like someone gonna slip on a banana peel on the deck and. 

00:51:55 

Fall in the water. 

00:51:57 Colleen 

Second, you. 

00:52:00 Seth 

Slept with a boat. 

00:52:01 Seth 

It should not be in Fernando Field. 

00:52:03 Seth 

Hit your head on a dam boom or something like that on the hand or something and something like cleat and then like oh now he document you died from head injuries. 

00:52:04 

Right? 

00:52:09 Colleen 

Exactly exactly exactly. 

00:52:11 Seth 

Now that would be crazy. 

00:52:13 Colleen 

See and that all kind of makes me think of those movies. 

00:52:15 Colleen 

Final destination, which also freaked me out because if you remember, there's a scene in. 

00:52:20 Colleen 

There where they're driving and Hwy to Hwy to hell comes on the radio and then. 

00:52:22 Seth 

Oh, I do. 

00:52:25 Colleen 

All the the logs come. 

00:52:27 Colleen 

And then they you know, I'm not going to do all the bad things that happen to them. 

00:52:30 Colleen 

But I will say that just from that kind of stuff like I end up giving my self, creating my own self superstitions, so if I'm driving and that song. 

00:52:38 Seth 

Oh my God, here we go. 

00:52:40 

Comes on. 

00:52:41 Colleen 

I had to change the channel. 

00:52:43 Seth 

Oh my God. 

00:52:45 Seth 

How old are you, woman? 

00:52:46 Colleen 

I will not listen to. 

00:52:46 Seth 

Chief how he to help? 

00:52:49 Colleen 

As much as I. 

00:52:50 Colleen 

Love ACDC I will not listen to it while I'm. 

00:52:53 Seth 

In the car well, you know what? 

00:52:56 Seth 

It's funny you mention that. 

00:52:57 Seth 

Movie 'cause I just saw. 

00:52:58 Seth 

The recent one that just came out a few months ago. 

00:53:01 Colleen 

I have 

00:53:02 Seth 

Not is it good? It is good. I actually like it because you know some of this stuff which is kind of like comedy, right? Some of it was comedy. It was a scary movie, quote, UN quote. Scary is one of the. 

00:53:12 Seth 

Things that so watching all these deaths so the final destination did come out not that long ago, and it was actually good. 

00:53:19 Seth 

And it's crazy because you're right, they would do one thing and then all these. 

00:53:23 Seth 

Almost impossible. 

00:53:25 Seth 

Implausible things were just happening like something would. 

00:53:26 

Yes, yeah. 

00:53:28 Seth 

Get loose it. 

00:53:29 Seth 

Would drop and then that would tick something up and take the gas off of something and then you light a cigarette with that white lighter. 

00:53:29 

Right? 

00:53:33 Colleen 

Right? 

00:53:35 

Uh, exactly exactly exactly. 

00:53:37 Colleen 

And then someone turns around, slips on a banana peel. 

00:53:40 

Right? 

00:53:44 Colleen 

And then the two people split the poll. 

00:53:46 Seth 

Right exactly and that's all. 

00:53:49 Seth 

Final destination was, so there if you wanna watch it just for nostalgia and to see the deaths because now it's all about the deaths, right? 

00:53:56 Seth 

You want to see how these people are actually going to die for how ridiculous ways that they're going to die. 

00:54:00 Seth 

So it's actually fun to watch. 

00:54:02 Seth 

So look it up, I think. 

00:54:03 Seth 

It's on the Netflix. 

00:54:04 Colleen 

OK, good thanks, I definitely. 

00:54:06 Colleen 

Will 'cause I didn't realize there was a new. 

00:54:07 Colleen

00:54:24 Colleen

00:54:24 Seth 

Well, maybe 10. 

00:54:26 Colleen

00:57:02 Colleen 

OK, I'm ready. 

00:57:03 Seth 

Are you ready? 

00:57:05 Seth 

Alright, I just had a really embarrassing moment. 

00:57:08 Seth 

I was at the gym and I was using the machine where you pushed the weighted board with your feet to exercise your legs. 

00:57:14 Colleen 

I know, let's see where this is going. 

00:57:15 Seth 

Oh Jesus, here we go. 

00:57:17 Seth 

While I was doing it, this really good looking guy came over and asked if he could use the machine next to me, social distancing and all. 

00:57:24 Seth 

That I said I was fine. 

00:57:25 Seth 

I said it was fine with me and he smiled at me. 

00:57:28 Seth 

Then, about a minute later, when I pushed up the weight on my legs, I accidentally let out a huge loud fart. 

00:57:34 Colleen 

It's God. 

00:57:36 Seth 

I was so embarrassed. 

00:57:38 Seth 

I know the guy heard it even though he didn't say anything to bring attention to it. 

00:57:42 Seth 

It would have been impossible not to hear it and he was wearing headphones. 

00:57:47 Seth 

The end. 

00:57:49 Colleen 

And in the gym, and probably like the sound reverberated through. 

00:57:52 Colleen 

The whole empty gourd. 

00:57:53 Seth 

Right, especially if you're like one of those, like gold, gyms, or maybe like a planet. 

00:57:56 Colleen 

Oh geez, yes. 

00:57:57 Seth 

Fitness has like the high ceilings. 

00:58:02 Colleen 

Oh man. 

00:58:03 Colleen 

I feel really. 

00:58:05 Colleen 

Bad for this chick dude. 

00:58:06 Seth 

Man OK, well you know what? 

00:58:08 Colleen 

Chick, you said that you did this. 

00:58:11 Seth 

I don't want to get into it. 

00:58:13 Seth 

It's not my game. 

00:58:13 Colleen 

You said you said I did. 

00:58:16 Colleen 

You said I knew this story I. 

00:58:18 Colleen 

Don't know this story. 

00:58:18 Seth 

I think I told you maybe not it didn't happen to. 

00:58:21 Seth 

Me, but I was there so. 

00:58:23 Colleen 

OK. 

00:58:23 Seth 

So do you want to? 

00:58:24 Seth 

Go into it I. 

00:58:25 Colleen 

You can tell me. 

00:58:25 Seth 

Could alright so. 

00:58:27 Colleen 

You don't have to. 

00:58:27 Colleen 

If it's somebody you know you don't call. 

00:58:29 Colleen 

Him out, they don't say their. 

00:58:29 Seth 

Name oh I'm gonna call him out. 

00:58:31 Seth 

His name is Sid Billops. 

00:58:34 Seth 

I will call him out and say if you're listening to this, you will remember this, so something similar to this happened, right? 

00:58:39 Colleen 

Oh man. 

00:58:41 Seth 

To me. 

00:58:43 Seth 

We're at the gym. 

00:58:45 Colleen 

Similar he should have had. 

00:58:45 Seth 

Something something similar, right? 

00:58:48 Seth 

So me and him are working out, so we're working out and we're just doing like we're doing like abs and stuff, right? 

00:58:57 Seth 

So you go in the machine where it starts off your twisted in one position and you just you just go like that, right, right so? 

00:59:01 Colleen 

Uh-huh yeah yeah.

00:59:06 Seth 

Yeah, we're going left or right, we're just. 

00:59:08 Seth 

Working in right? 

00:59:08 Seth 

So there's one guy. 

00:59:10 Seth 

He's in a machine. 

00:59:11 Seth 

I forgot the machine it could have. 

00:59:12 Seth 

And like some lay down machine where you're doing a leg lift or something like that, right? 

00:59:16 Seth 

So this guy is like not that far like I'm talking like, probably under 5 feet away from us, right? 

00:59:21 Colleen 

OK. 

00:59:21 Seth 

So we're going, so I go. 

00:59:23 Seth 

He goes right? 

00:59:23 Seth 

So he's doing it right and he goes. 

00:59:25 Seth 

He goes all right, like all right one. 

00:59:27 Seth 

So we at this this is like our third like round of this probably. 

00:59:31 Seth 

So we we up in the weight, right? 

00:59:32 Seth 

So he's like. 

00:59:33 Seth 

So like count it out, you know we're counting out alright mate wine too. 

00:59:44 Seth 

And so when he does that, he lets out the fart. 

00:59:47 Seth 

And then he just stops. 

00:59:50 Colleen 

Frozen in time. 

00:59:51 Seth 

He's frozen in time. 

00:59:52 Seth 

I'm just sitting there looking. 

00:59:54 

I mean eyes get big. 

00:59:57 

If I skip it. 

00:59:57 Seth 

Who doesn't look at each other and he's still like like? 

01:00:01 Seth 

In the position like. 

01:00:02 Seth 

He's still like, uh. 

01:00:02 Seth 

Holding it right with it right and. 

01:00:03 

Rocking eyes 

01:00:05 Seth 

Then he just goes back slowly to the regular physician. 

01:00:12 Seth 

And his ask was like facing right towards the other dudes. 

01:00:16 Seth 

I was like man just do math and smell this **** but it's like it's so funny. 

01:00:19 Colleen 

Oh no. 

01:00:21 Seth 

'cause like count is 5? 

01:00:29 Seth 

I I don't know what I said. 

01:00:31 Seth 

I probably felt like man. 

01:00:32 Seth 

You nasty mom ********. 

01:00:33 Colleen 

What did you say? 

01:00:35 Colleen 

You're just as nasty, but someone doesn't like. 

01:00:41 Seth 

So anyway, so thank you for sending this in listener, because this happens to us all and and you know what the guy probably heard it, but you're probably pretty cute anyway, so it's like, you know, if I just play it off and like it's all cool and all that, maybe I'll get a chance to maybe talk to her some next time. 

01:00:58 Seth 

And then you know we can just be doing squats and farting together so. 

01:01:03 Seth 

It might be, it might be a good thing, or he might be like look, I'm not going anywhere near this girl. 

01:01:07 Seth 

She be lifting too much weight 'cause he's straining, straining herself. 

01:01:09 Colleen 

Yeah, maybe. 

01:01:12 Seth 

So yeah, so that was our humdinger that was hilarious, actually. 

01:01:16 Seth

01:02:07 Seth 

Well, I think you make me do. 

01:02:07 Colleen 

I think I think. 

01:02:08 Seth 

It because you probably get more. 

01:02:08 Colleen 

I throw you the the ones that have to do with like poops and farts. 

01:02:14 Seth 

Exactly, you just get too embarrassed you can't read these crazy ones. 

01:02:18 Seth 

You can't read somebody something. 

01:02:18 Colleen 

Anything that's good pennies, some like stuff and deal with that. 

01:02:22 Seth 

I'm not talking about that. 

01:02:29 Seth 

That is all you bro. 

01:02:34 Seth 

That sounds like you 100% alright. So so when we got read another one we got a good one. 

01:02:40 Colleen 

Yes, so this one is called a teenage nightmare. 

01:02:44 Seth 

A teenage nightmare, a teen teenage nightmare. 

01:02:45 Colleen 

Nightmare network exactly. 

01:02:49 Seth 

Don't scare me again, don't don't don't scare me again. 

01:02:54 Seth 

All right, all right. 

01:02:56 Seth 

Read it baby. 

01:02:57 Colleen 

When I was a teenager, I'm pretty sure my dad heard me moaning during sex. 

01:03:03 Colleen 

So one day my dad told me he was going to be out for about an hour. 

01:03:08 Colleen 

Me and my boyfriend decided to have sexy time. 

01:03:10 Colleen 

Whilst he was out. 

01:03:12 Colleen 

My bedroom was on the top floor of the house furthest away from the front door. 

01:03:16 Colleen 

We had music playing, probably Jodeci or something cliche like that, so there was no way I would have heard him come in. 

01:03:24 Colleen 

Anyway, we were doing our thing and we finished and everything. 

01:03:28 Colleen 

And then I heard moving about downstairs I popped. 

01:03:32 Colleen 

Up and looked outside my window and my dad's car was back. 

01:03:37 Colleen 

I started to panic because I had no idea how long he'd been back for look. 

01:03:42 Colleen 

We were really, really loud. 

01:03:44 Colleen 

So I knew my dad must have heard something. 

01:03:46 Colleen 

Because of this, I had to think of another reason as to what those noises were. 

01:03:51 Colleen 

So I came up with what I thought was a genius plan. 

01:03:55 Colleen 

We quickly got dressed and I started to pretend to be wailing and crying and mid panic attack after hurting my ankle airquotes hurting my ankle to make it seem like we weren't having loud sex. 

01:04:08 Seth 

Oh my God. 

01:04:09 Colleen 

I even went to the extent of bashing my ankle with a metal bottle in order to make it look hurt. 

01:04:15 Seth 

Oh my God the. 

01:04:17 Colleen 

Anyway, my dad came up after a while of this show and asked if I was OK. 

01:04:24 Colleen 

I explained my fake story while still wailing and crying and I think he may have bought it. 

01:04:29 Colleen 

I definitely put my acting skills to work that afternoon, although as an adult now with children on my own, there's really not much they can get past me so. 

01:04:37 Colleen 

There's a chance he did know I was faking and just pretended not to know I had been having sex. I'd say it's about 5050. 

01:04:45 Colleen 

It does still haunt me from time to time and for a long time I couldn't even look him in. 

01:04:49 Colleen 

The eyes, yeah. 

01:04:51 Colleen 

What are you? 

01:04:51 Colleen 

Going to do the end Finn. 

01:04:55 Seth 

OK, so first. 

01:04:57 Colleen 

And I I have to say real quick. 

01:04:59 Colleen 

I'm not going to call anybody out like you, but we do have a mutual friend that has had something similar happen. 

01:05:05 Colleen 

And that's all I'm going to say, and if this person wants to send a confession in, they can. 

01:05:11 Seth 

OK. 

01:05:12 Seth 

OK, I don't mind calling people. 

01:05:14 Seth 

I mean look, it's just a fart in the gym. 

01:05:15 Seth 

It happens. 

01:05:16 Seth 

All the. 

01:05:16 Seth 

Freaking time yeah, just. 

01:05:16 

Just, uh, fought in a gym so. 

01:05:18 Seth 

It happens whatever. 

01:05:19 Seth 

But yeah, Brad. 

01:05:20 Seth 

It's whatever. 

01:05:21 Seth 

I've never been to yoga, but I imagine just probably farts all over that joint. 

01:05:25 Colleen 

That's true, I have heard. 

01:05:26 Colleen 

The yes women doing that, Yep. 

01:05:28 Seth 

Yeah, so it probably comes out of. 

01:05:30 Seth 

Both areas let's just leave that alone. 

01:05:33 Seth 

OK, so let's talk about this rider here. 

01:05:34 

Say also. 

01:05:36 Seth 

Yeah, so. 

01:05:38 Seth 

It's actually pretty good you went along with this. 

01:05:40 Seth 

You actually, as long as you committed you know you went full ****** on it. 

01:05:43 Seth 

So that's nice. 

01:05:44 Seth 

Right you went full ******. 

01:05:46 Seth 

You just you gotta commit to the lie and more than likely he knew what was going on and just said, yeah, that's super awkward, but big up to your dad because look that was in my house first. 

01:05:51 Seth 

Yeah, that's awkward. 

01:05:58 Seth 

Well, I can't even say if there's no way that was ever going to happen in my house when I was growing up. 

01:06:03 Seth 

There's none of this. 

01:06:05 Seth 

Boyfriend girlfriend coming over. 

01:06:05 Colleen 

I'll leave you alone. 

01:06:07 Seth 

Yeah, leave you guys alone and blah blah blah. 

01:06:09 Seth 

I mean yeah I have. 

01:06:10 Seth 

I've been in houses where you can be dating someone and then you are upstairs in the room. 

01:06:15 Seth 

But none of this we're going to hook up while my parents are downstairs. 

01:06:18 Seth 

I'm not playing that game so big up to your pops man pop. 

01:06:22 Seth 

This product was like, alright well, I'm just having sex now. 

01:06:24 Seth 

You know, the guys he. 

01:06:25 Seth 

He's a nice guy, so you know I let him clap a couple of times. 

01:06:28 Seth 

Just make sure he don't disrespect her. 

01:06:30 

Oh God. 

01:06:32 

That just does the. 

01:06:33 Colleen 

Whole thing seems pretty awkward, 'cause I can't imagine being the parent and hearing and just being like Oh no, especially a dad for a daughter. 

01:06:35 Seth 

It sounds awkward. 

01:06:40 Colleen 

Yeah, I I don't mean I don't. 

01:06:41 Colleen 

I don't know and I because I don't know. 

01:06:43 Colleen 

I never had a relationship with a father figure like that, so I don't know. 

01:06:46 Colleen 

But I can imagine that it would be really awkward and uncomfortable. 

01:06:48 Seth 

I would be I would be feeling you know if I was a dad, I'd probably just leave. 

01:06:53 Seth 

I'm like, you know, I'm not hearing this right now. 

01:06:57 Seth 

I'm not here, I'm gonna go I'm gonna go to the store and buy me a 40 or something and I'll come back. 

01:06:58 Colleen 

Your mulch. 

01:07:01 Seth 

Hopefully this shifts over 'cause I can't handle this right now in my life. 

01:07:05 Seth 

That's how I would be if I or I would say what y'all doing on there. 

01:07:08 Seth 

What y'all doing on there? 

01:07:09 Colleen 

Huh, exactly I do. 

01:07:12 Seth 

Girl come downstairs, put your clothes on brands out there. 

01:07:13 

Ricky West dances. 

01:07:15 Seth 

I told you no boys in the house and now I hear all this banging and stuff going on. 

01:07:20 Seth 

What's going on up there? 

01:07:21 Seth 

Nothing Daddy, I mean. 

01:07:23 Colleen 

I feel like. 

01:07:24 Colleen 

He set her up anyway because he's like. 

01:07:26 Colleen 

OK daughter, I'll be leaving for one hour so you know what I mean. 

01:07:30 Seth 

Yeah, right, right right. 

01:07:31 Colleen 

Like pretty much setting them up to do what they're going to do. 

01:07:34 Seth 

Well, I can appreciate someone sharing this because, you know, we all had parents or at least people that that we looked up to. 

01:07:41 Seth 

You know, didn't have to be biological right? 

01:07:43 Seth 

And you always wanted to not get in trouble, so we've all done these things. 

01:07:47 Seth 

So this hits home on a lot of different things because you just don't want to get in trouble. 

01:07:51 Seth 

So you will go through. 

01:07:52 Seth 

Through lengths and you know it's funny. 

01:07:53 Seth 

A lot of these confessions that come in that we read are surrounding things like this. 

01:07:59 Seth 

You go through great lengths just not to get in trouble. 

01:08:02 Seth 

You know, like the one that you told, or I told I can't remember it was couple season not seasons but episodes ago where the person broke the glass table and. 

01:08:12 Seth 

And did all this and played at all so they wouldn't get in trouble. 

01:08:15 Seth 

You know, just crazy stuff like that. 

01:08:16 Seth 

She just admitted it. 

01:08:17 Seth 

And it just. 

01:08:17 Seth 

Is what it. 

01:08:18 Seth 

Is so anyway, what's up? 

01:08:19 Colleen 

Yeah, I do have a question for you though. 

01:08:21 Colleen 

Have you ever heard somebody having sex that you didn't want to? 

01:08:25 Colleen 

Be hearing having sex. 

01:08:27 Seth 

Ah, let me think. 

01:08:29 Seth 

I don't think so really. 

01:08:30 Colleen 

You're so lucky. 

01:08:31 Seth 

No, I don't think I've ever 'cause I've always been like damn man he's lucky I'm like I'm over here out here just watching TV and he over there smashing it's messed up. 

01:08:43 Colleen 

Well, I have definitely heard some things that I really, really, really wish I had not heard. 

01:08:44 Seth 

I've not been that situation. 

01:08:50 Colleen 

I've heard a lot of no no macaroni time that I just. 

01:08:53 Seth 

It is. 

01:08:53 Colleen 

Cannot erase from. 

01:08:55 Colleen 

My head and I'm like, oh. 

01:08:57 Seth 

No, I've been in some. 

01:08:58 Seth 

We don't need to go there, but I've been in some awkward sex situations and the person not having sex and I'm just like looking, not not looking, listening and like yeah, so it's nothing me. 

01:09:10 Seth 

It had never been anything like, oh, I don't want to hear this stuff. 

01:09:12 Colleen 

Now it depends on the person. 

01:09:14 Colleen 

Is my point? 

01:09:15 Colleen 

Like there's some people like? 

01:09:15 Colleen 

Yeah, whatever? 

01:09:16 Colleen 

They're doing it, but there's certain people. 

01:09:18 Colleen 

In your life is my point that you don't want to hear things. 

01:09:20 Seth 

From I mean, let's just call it out like your parents or your grandparents. 

01:09:24 Colleen 

Yes, certain family members exactly. 

01:09:25 Seth 

Yeah, certain friends like I don't want it. 

01:09:26 Seth 

No I would. 

01:09:28 Seth 

I throw myself out of a window probably. 

01:09:31 Seth 

Just so I don't have to hear the noise again. 

01:09:33 Seth 

Exactly no more macaroni salad just tossed myself out the window. 

01:09:39 Seth 

Oh I left right. 

01:09:39 

Roll your body. 

01:09:40 

Through the glass. 

01:09:41 Seth 

It's like. 

01:09:42 Seth 

I'll let myself out. 

01:09:46 Seth 

Don't mind me guys, I'll go ahead and let. 

01:09:46 

It's good. 

01:09:48 Seth 

Myself out through. 

01:09:54 Seth 

All right, so that's a good ending to this one. This is the good ones superstitions. Now I'm going to go out and try to find myself a little lucky rabbit's foot and see if I can find a nice little Talisman. I might mail you one too, baby. 

01:09:56 Seth 

Yes, yes. 

01:10:05 Colleen 

OK, OK, and we can always go to Crystal Fox and find lots of.
